Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common and potentially deadly disorder marked by narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which provide oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. CAD normally develops over time as a result of plaque buildup—a combination of cholesterol, fatty compounds, calcium, and other materials—in the coronary artery walls, a process known as atherosclerosis. As plaque builds up, it can impede blood flow to the heart, causing chest pain (angina), a heart attack (myocardial infarction), and other cardiovascular issues. The primary risk factors for coronary artery disease…

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia, defined by an irregular and typically rapid pulse rate that originates in the heart's upper chambers, or atria. Instead of contracting in a coordinated manner, the atria fibrillate or quiver, resulting in inefficient blood pumping and possible blood pooling within the heart. AFib raises the risk of blood clots, strokes, heart failure, and other cardiovascular issues. Atrial fibrillation can be caused by a variety of cardiac problems, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, heart failure, congenital heart…

Dialysis is a life-saving medical treatment for people with kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), in which the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste materials and excess fluid from their blood. It is an important medication that helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, eliminate toxins and metabolic waste products, and regulate blood pressure in those who have compromised kidney function. Dialysis can greatly enhance quality of life and extend longevity for those with severe renal disease. The two basic methods of dialysis are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.…

Emphysema is frequently associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a category of lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis. The primary cause of emphysema is prolonged exposure to irritants and toxins, particularly cigarette smoke. Smoking is the principal cause of emphysema, accounting for the great…
