Known as the natural bypass, EECP stimulates the growth of small branches of blood vessels (collaterals) to create a bypass around narrowed or blocked arteries.The blood circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system, consists of the heart and the blood vessels that run throughout the body. It delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells of the body.There are many different circulatory system diseases all of which interrupt this complex process of distributing blood around the body.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4570″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Circulatory System diseases” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:inherit|color:%23007df3″][vc_column_text]
- Atherosclerosis : Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries.
- Heart attack : Myocardial infarction (MI) is the technical term for a heart attack. A heart attack can occur when the blood supply is cut off from the heart, often by a blood clot. Some heart attacks are minor, but others can be life-threatening.
- Mitral valve prolapse : Mitral valve prolapse means the mitral valve bulges out or prolapses because it does not close evenly.
The cardiovascular, or circulatory, system supplies the body with blood. It consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Treatment” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:inherit|color:%23007df3″][vc_column_text]The treatment option that is best for a person will depend on their specific type of CVD.
However, some options include:
- medication, such as to reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol, improve blood flow, or regulate heart rhythm
- surgery, such as coronary artery bypass grafting or valve repair or replacement surgery
- cardiac rehabilitation, including exercise prescriptions and lifestyle counseling
Treatment aims to:
- relieve symptoms
- reduce the risk of the condition or disease recurring or getting worse
- prevent complications, such as hospital admission, heart failure, stroke, heart attack, or death
Depending on the condition, a healthcare provider may also seek to stabilize heart rhythms, reduce blockages, and relax the arteries to enable a better flow of blood.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
