Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertensive crisis: Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency in which there is a sudden, severe increase in blood pressure. It can lead to life-threatening health problems, heart attack or stroke. The blood pressure reading in a hypertensive emergency is 180/120mm Hg or greater. Symptoms include headache or blurred vision, increasing confusion, increasing chest pain, increasing shortness of breath, seizure, and swelling/oedema.

Congestive heart failure: It is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Conditions such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, congenital heart defect, diabetes, overactive/underactive thyroid, or high blood pressure make the heart too weak to pump blood efficiently. Symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, swollen legs, and fatigue.
