A heart attack is also known as a myocardial infarction. A heart attack is when a part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies because it is not receiving oxygen. A heart attack is the death of heart muscle and it is caused by a sudden block of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Causing injury to the heart muscle can cause chest main and pressure. If blood flow is not restored within 20 to 40 minutes permanent

Hypertension is frequently a result of both arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis‚ and can lead to more serious CVDs‚ such as angina attack (an acute and squeezing chest pain due to inefficient blood flow to the heart)‚ and myocardial infarction( the sudden death of part of the heart muscle). A stroke is a CVD that occurs when there is in inadequate oxygen flow to the brain. An abnormally high or abnormally low heart rate because of the disruption of the natural electric impulses of

A peptic ulcer is a mucosal contusion in the stomach or duodenum. Peptic Ulcer disease results from when the mucosal defenses get incapacitated and no longer shield the epithelium from the result of acid and pepsin. There are three types of ulcers that may occur gastric‚ duodenal‚ and stress ulcers. Most ulcers are caused by H.Pylori infection‚ which is carried through the fecal-oral route and thought to be received in childhood. It also can be received through contaminated endoscopic equipment.
