Answer 1

Angina -slight pain in the left side of the chest radiating to the arm,sometimes associated with sweating.
myocardial infarction-Death of a small area of the heart due to decrease supply of blood.
Ischemic heart disease- less supply of blood to the heart.
CCF- congestive cardiac failure.
valvular disease- failing of the valve of the heart to work proparly which might cause mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

Prevention and treatment- Stop smooking, drinking, eating fatty food, salt restrictions , lower cholesterol, regular exercise etc etc.

sick sinus syndrome- a potentially lifethreatening dysrhythmia, treated with iinsertion of permanent pacemaker.

atrial fibrillation- fluttering of the atria leading to ineffective cardiac function, treated with medications or pacemeker

Aortic aneurysm- a herniation of the aorta , increasing pain, if ruptures then usually lethal depending on surgery, treated with surgical reinforcing of the vessel

Athroma- plaques which build up in the vessels,, occlusion can lead to symptoms of angina, treated by angiographic removal, the medication. If major occlusion, arterial bypass may be necessary.
