    Treatment IVIG , theophylline , terbutaline , montelukast Capillary leak syndrome , or vascular leak syndrome , is characterized by the escape of blood plasma through capillary walls , from the blood circulatory system to surrounding tissues, muscle compartments, organs or body cavities.

  3. Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise-induced_pulmonary...

    By reducing inspiratory resistance, the strip decreases the negative pressure on the delicate blood-gas barrier, thus reducing capillary rupture and consequent hemorrhage into the airways. Moreover, the nasal strip elicits a proportionately greater reduction in inspiratory resistance and EIPH as exercise duration and intensity increases.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_rupture

    The incidence of myocardial rupture has decreased in the era of urgent revascularization and aggressive pharmacological therapy for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction. However, the decrease in the incidence of myocardial rupture is not uniform; there is a slight increase in the incidence of rupture if thrombolytic agents are used ...

    The marks are formed when capillaries beneath the skin rupture due to the electrical discharge and they usually appear "within hours" of the strike though they tend to disappear within a few days. They also generally occur on the upper body. [ 9 ]

  7. Hematidrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematidrosis

    Hematidrosis is a condition in which capillary blood vessels that feed the sweat glands rupture, causing them to exude blood, occurring under conditions of extreme physical or emotional stress. [4] Severe mental anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system to invoke the fight-or-flight response to such a degree as to cause hemorrhage of the ...

  8. Hypertensive emergency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertensive_emergency

    In a hypertensive emergency, treatment should first be to stabilize the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation per ACLS guidelines. Patients should have their blood pressure slowly lowered over a period of minutes to hours with an antihypertensive agent.

  9. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

    Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma, within the artery wall due to a tear in the wall.
