  2. Coronary circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_circulation

    Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the arteries and veins that supply the heart muscle (myocardium). Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Cardiac veins then drain away the blood after it has been deoxygenated. Because the rest of the body, and most especially the brain, needs a steady supply of ...

  3. Aortic regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_regurgitation

    Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency (AI), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle. As a consequence, the cardiac muscle is forced to work harder than normal. [ 4 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_repair

    ICD-9-CM. 35.12. [edit on Wikidata] Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. The mitral valve is the "inflow valve" for the left side of the heart. Blood flows from the lungs, where it picks up oxygen, through the pulmonary ...

  7. Capillary leak syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_leak_syndrome

    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. It is a phenomenon most commonly witnessed in sepsis, and less frequently in autoimmune diseases, differentiation ...
