Key Points: Disorders of Circulatory System

  • Hypertension (high BP) is when blood pressure is above 120/80 mm Hg; ≥140/90 mm Hg is serious and can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys.
  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or atherosclerosis occurs due to fat, cholesterol, and calcium deposits, narrowing the arteries supplying the heart.
  • Angina (angina pectoris) is chest pain caused by reduced oxygen supply to the heart muscles due to restricted blood flow.
  • Heart failure is when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs; it is different from a heart attack and cardiac arrest.
  • Coronary thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in the coronary arteries, often in the left anterior descending artery.
  • These disorders mainly affect blood flow and oxygen supply, leading to serious cardiovascular problems.
