Disease/Condition Glossary

Myocardial infarction (MI)/Heart attack: It occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is often an accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Heart attack signs include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.

Decompensated heart failure (DHF): It is a condition in which the heart is no longer able to maintain efficient circulation. This leads to the sudden onset of symptoms of heart failure.
