    The document discusses several cardiovascular conditions including heart failure, valvular heart disease, endocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and miscellaneous conditions. Heart failure is the leading cause of death in the US and can present as stable or unstable angina depending on plaque stability. Valvular heart disease involves persistently increased blood pressure impacting the pulmonary or systemic circulation. Endocarditis and cardiomyopathy discuss basic principles but are missing details. Miscellaneous conditions includes pericardial conditions, myxoma, dissection, and coarctation but only the introductions are provided.

    HEART FAILURE

    I. BASIC PRINCIPLES
    A. Group of syndromes related to myocardial ischaemia (O2 supply < O2
    demand); is the leading cause of death in the US.
    B. Presentation depends on the plaque stability and its severity
    1. Stable plaque  narrowing of lumen  exertional (stable) angina
    2. Clot forms around  either unstable angina or MI (severity)
    C. Ischaemic symptoms include chest pain (angina)  Levine sign;
    dyspnoea; nausea; diaphoresis. Mechanisms poorly understood.
    1. Chest pain + radiating L arm & jaw pains, abdominal pain – due to

    VALVULAR HEART DISEASES

    I. BASIC PRINCIPLES
    A. Persistently increased BP,may involve pulmonary or systemic circulation
    B. Systemic HTN is defined as > 140/90 mm Hg (normal < 120/80); divided
    into primary and secondary.
    C. Or can be divided into benign or malignant HTN
