   These factors can overlap and create the complex sequela leading to ischemia and left ventricle contraction abnormality. [12] For instance, estrogen, which confers protection to women by improving blood flow to heart muscle, is one biochemical pathway implicated in the TTS disease process.

3. Danon disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danon_disease

   Muscle weakness can be severe and can affect endurance and the ability to walk Heart disease (cardiomyopathy) can be severe and can lead to a need for medications. It usually progresses to heart failure, commonly complicated by atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes with severe neurological disability, [ 3 ] leading to death unless a heart ...

4. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

   Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [5] Reduced blood flow to the heart associated with coronary ischemia can result in inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. [6] When oxygen supply to the heart is unable to keep up with oxygen demand from the muscle, the result is the characteristic symptoms of coronary ...

5. Cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomyopathy

   Cardiomyopathy is a group of primary diseases of the heart muscle. [1] Early on there may be few or no symptoms. [1] As the disease worsens, shortness of breath, feeling tired, and swelling of the legs may occur, due to the onset of heart failure. [1]

6. Pathophysiology of heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_heart...

   The main pathophysiology of heart failure is a reduction in the efficiency of the heart muscle, through damage or overloading. As such, it can be caused by a wide number of conditions, including myocardial infarction (in which the heart muscle is starved of oxygen and dies), hypertension (which increases the force of contraction needed to pump blood) and cardiac amyloidosis (in which misfolded ...

7. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   Myocardial infarction; Other names: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart attack: A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, causing catastrophic thrombus formation, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream to the heart muscle.

   It can deposit in the heart, in neurological areas, and in the area of the carpal tunnel.” The good news, Zoghbi adds, is that there’s now effective treatment for the condition; 10 years ago ...

9. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

   Limitation of blood flow to the heart causes ischemia (cell starvation secondary to a lack of oxygen) of the heart's muscle cells. The heart's muscle cells may die from lack of oxygen and this is called a myocardial infarction (commonly referred to as a heart attack). It leads to damage, death, and eventual scarring of the heart muscle without ...
