Acute myocardial infarction is the complete blockage of a coronary artery by the formation of a thrombus (blood clot), in most cases at the level of an atheromatous plaque (fat and calcium deposit in the walls of the artery).

Angina means chest pain, usually retrosternal (it can also be epigastric), a sensation of discomfort, burn, (“weight”), constriction (“claw”, “cramp”), localized or radiating in the precordium, neck, mandible, shoulders, arms, forearms, posterior to shoulder blades, inter-scapular-vertebral region

Aortic aneurysm means the abnormal, segmental growth of the aorta.

Represent a group of disorders that involves the system of generating and transmitting electrical impulses necessary for the heart’s activity.

Cardiomyopathies constitute a group of heart diseases with various aetiologies, where the initial and predominant cause is the affliction of the myocardium (heart muscle).

Ischemic cardiopathy (ischemic heart disease, coronary disease) is an affection generated by the reduction of the blood flow to the myocardium (heart muscle), due to the imbalance between the oxygen supply and demand, mostly owed to the arteriosclerotic affliction of the coronary arteries (the arteries that irrigate the myocardium).

Painless ischemic cardiopathy is a form of the coronary atherosclerotic disease with no pain. Deceleration of the disease is performed based on anamnesis, clinical examination and additional investigations: EKG, echocardiography, stress test, Holter EKG etc.

Represent a group of diseases that affects the function of the heart valves (the mitral and aortic valve in particular, not so often the tricuspid and pulmonary valve) determining stenosis or/and insufficiency.
