Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA or triple-A) is a localised enlargement of the abdominal aorta such that the diameter is greater than 3 cm or more than 50% larger than normal. An AAA often grows slowly, without symptoms and can be life-threatening if it bursts. These aneurysms are most common in older men and smokers. Pain in the back, stomach or side may be signs of an impending rupture.

Angina pectoris is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It is caused when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood as it needs. It usually happens because one or more of the heart's arteries is narrowed or blocked, also called ischemia. Depending on the severity, it can be treated by lifestyle changes, medication, angioplasty or surgery.

An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. A cardiac arrhythmia occurs when electrical impulses in the heart don't work correctly. Treatment for arrhythmia includes anti-arrhythmic drugs, medical procedures, implantable devices and surgery.

Heart Failure, also known as CHF is a chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. A patient might experience symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen legs and rapid heartbeat. They may experience pain in the chest. Treatments for heart failure include eating less salt, limiting fluid intake and taking prescription medication. In some cases, a defibrillator or pacemaker may be implanted.

Atherosclerosis, also known as Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaque), which can restrict blood flow. Plaques may rupture, causing acute occlusion of the artery by a clot. Treatments for this condition include medication, procedures to open blocked arteries and surgery.

Hypertension, also known as High blood pressure (HBP), can lead to severe health complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death. It has no symptoms, but over time, if untreated, it can cause serious health conditions.  Chronic conditions such as kidney and hormone problems, diabetes, and high cholesterol are some of the reasons for the disease. In most cases, hypertension is self-treatable, but otherwise, can be cured with medicines.
