Coronography
Coronarography, also called coronary angiography, is an invasive radiological technique used in cardiology to visualize the course and condition of the coronary arteries.
Echocardiogram
The echocardiogram, also known as echocardiography, is a diagnostic imaging technique based on the use of ultrasound, which is quick and easy to perform, harmless, painless, and low-cost, and because of these favorable features has become very popular in the last 20 years in cardiology to study the heart, the blood vessels surrounding it, and the heart valves.

CT Computed Axial Tomography
Computed tomography, abbreviated as CT, still often commonly referred to as CAT (computerized axial tomography) despite the evolution of the method, is an imaging investigation that provides very detailed three-dimensional
Application of Pace-Maker
Each pace-maker consists of two basic parts: a pulse generator and one or two electrodes that are run from the generator to the heart muscle.
Application of Stents (Coronary Angioplasty)
A coronary stent is a medical "device," that is, an instrument used in Coronary Angioplasty to clear the way for possible blockages in the coronary arteries by following invasive techniques having the goal of restoring regular blood circulation within the heart by ensuring its proper function.
Food, sports, sex: easy summer excesses
There are many pleasant and satisfying experiences in the summer in which mood and emotions are at their peak, conditions that could also sometimes cause misjudgment of some hidden dangers in a crescendo of positive and exhilarating experiences.

Heart failure refers to a dysfunction as a result of which the heart can no longer meet the needs of the body, causing reduced blood flow and accumulation (congestion) of
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, WHAT TO KNOW AND WHAT TO DO
The mechanism that determines erection in the male arises from sexual arousal, which in turn is the result of the participation of emotions, the brain, hormonal flows, heart and vessels, muscles and nerves.
Sometimes even one of these factors can cause erectile dysfunction, which can worsen when a state of emotional malaise and stress or even a persistent state of anxiety is added to it.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens, becoming hypertrophic, in the absence of dilation of the ventricles. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects men and women equally. It is
Diving, the basic rules

“Selfies” could be used to detect heart disease
A photo of the face, as many are taken in selfies, may be enough for the specialist to notice an ongoing heart problem.
Hashimoto’s thyroid
When the immune system launches an attack on the thyroid gland, the small gland located under the Adam's apple, which produces hormones that regulate so many functions of the human body.
Bad habits that make the Thyroid sick
This gland, when threatened by disturbing factors, reacts with dysfunctions that then spread throughout the body.
Too much Caffeine?
Taken in small doses it improves concentration, while if taken in excessive doses it causes heart rate, raises blood pressure levels and induces a state of nervousness.
Aortic valve repair
When aortic valvulopathy presents significant quality-of-life problems for the patient but also obvious risks of serious consequences, cardiac surgery may be necessary.
Prevention and risk factors of aortic valvulopathy
Aortic insufficiency is a direct result of improper closure of the valve, which causes blood pumped from the left ventricle to be redirected.
Mitral valve regurgitation
It is a condition in which the mitral valve leaflets do not close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium of the heart.
Working professions in mitral valve disease
It is well known that risk factors for heart disease include habits such as excessive alcohol use, such as smoking, a high-protein and high-fat diet, and also genetic factors, while less consideration is often given to factors of occupational origin.
Risk factors, complications, and prevention in mitral valve disease
A problem with the heart valves may occur because of a congenital defect, or because of a special health condition, or because of the effects of aging.
Aortic valve replacement
When the condition of the aortic valve is severe and the insufficiency is exposing the patient to heart failure, as well as the possibility of developing other, serious, life-threatening conditions, aortic valve replacement is the way to go.
The traumatic shock syndrome
Traumatic shock can be secondary to trauma of any nature.
