  • Congestive heart failure

    What is congestive heart failure (CHF)? Heart failure describes the inability or failure of the heart to adequately meet the needs of organs and tissues for oxygen and nutrients. This decrease in cardiac output, the amount of blood that the heart pumps, is not adequate to circulate the blood returning to the heart from the body and lungs, causing fluid (mainly water) to leak from capillary blood vessels. This leads to the symptoms that  Read More

  • Familial congestive cardiomyopathy

    Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition that occurs when the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. The most common type of CHF is called "congestive cardiomyopathy" or "congestive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction."Congestive cardiomyopathy is usually caused by a genetic disorder of the heart muscle, but it can also be caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, anemia, diabe  Read More

  • Giant cell myocarditis

The risk factors for giant cell myocarditis are-People with autoimmune disorders are prone to this disease; however, people of any age, gender, lifestyle, or food habit can be a sufferer of this disease. Patients with autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, m  Read More

  • Heart disease and restrictive cardiomyopathy

    What Is Restrictive Cardiomyopathy? Restrictive cardiomyopathy, the rarest form of cardiomyopathy, is a condition in which the walls of the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) are abnormally rigid and lack the flexibility to expand as the ventricles fill with blood. The pumping or systolic function of the ventricle may be normal but the diastolic function (the ability of the heart to fill with blood) is abnormal. There  Read More

  • Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis

    Clinically, myocarditis is defined as inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). In clinical practice, it is used to describe inflammatory heart diseases that affect cardiac muscle and its function, either directly or indirectly, with a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious causes.Idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis (IGCM) is a rare and frequently fatal type (mortality rate of 50% or more in patients) of myocarditi  Read More

  • Neonatal lupus erythematosus

  • Superior vena cava syndrome

    Introduction The superior vena cava is a large vein located in the upper chest, which collects blood from the head and arms and delivers it back to the right atrium of the heart. If this vein is compressed by outside structures, or if a thrombus or clot develops within it, return blood flow to the heart is impeded. When blood flow to the heart is restricted, the increased pressure in the veins of the face and arms causes edema (fluid b  Read More

  • Vacterl association

When infection with a virus happens during pregnancy, it can cause VAD in the fetus or newborn. VAD can also be caused by exposure to other substances like toxic chemicals, radiation, and certain medicines during pregnancy.There are many risk factors for viral association.  Read More
