What is the name of a Circulatory system pathology?

Answer 1

The circulatory system, now generally referred to as the cardiovascular system, can be affected by a variety of diseases that can be broadly classified as infectious, inflammatory, degenerative or cancerous.

An example of an infectious disease of the cardiovascular system would be bacterial endocarditis. This is when a bacteria become attached to one or more valves of the heart and set up a localized infection.

An example of an inflammatory disease of the cardiovascular system would be athlerosclerosis. This is when inflammatory mediators cause the lining of the blood vessels to become "sticky", which allows cholesterol molecules to be deposited in the walls of the vessels. The cholesterol hardens the arteries, making them more likely to rupture or become blocked.

An example of a degenerative disease of the cardiovascular system would be endocardiosis. This is a chronic disease in which the valves of the heart slowly degenerate and become less competent at closing the openings between the heart chambers. Eventually this can lead to congestive heart failure if it becomes bad enough.

An example of a cancerous disease of the cardiovascular system would be hemangiosarcoma. This is a neoplasia that arises from the lining of the blood vessels and branches off from normal vessels to create very fragile pseudo-vessels. Unfortunately, one of the more common symptoms of this cancer is sudden death; thankfully in humans this cancer is relatively rare.

It is called the Circulatory System. It includes the heart, blood vessels and blood cells.
