| Myocardial infraction (MI) | Commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when there is a sudden blockage of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle(myocardium) |
| Hypertension | Referred to as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteriies is consistently elevated. |
| Heart failure (HF) | Also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs. |
| Vasoconstriction | The process by which blood vessels narrow due to the contraction of smooth muscle in their walls. |
| Vasodilation | The process by which the blood vessels widen due to the relaxation of smooth muscles in their walls. |
| Diuretic | A type of medication or substance that promotes increased production and excretion of urine. |
| Dysgeusia | Altered sense of taste |
| Angina | A type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the meart muscles dont recieve enough oxygen-rich blood. |
| Arrythmia | A medical condition characterized by an abnormal rythm or rate of the heartbeat. |
| Anticoagulants | Drugs that interfere with coagulation(clotting of blood) |
| Hemostasis | A normal mechanism in the body that is designed to prevent the loss of blood after injury to a blood vwessel. |
