Aortic disease
Disorders of the aorta (the main artery that supplies blood from the heart) can be extremely life threatening and may include aneurysms, tears in the inner lining, and penetrating ulcers.
Arrhythmia
An abnormal heart rhythm that is considered serious when it causes the heart to beat too slow or too fast to effectively pump blood.
Cardiomyopathy
The deterioration of the function of the heart muscle that often leads to heart failure.

Coronary artery disease
Occurs when arteries in the heart narrow or become blocked; may cause angina, a heart attack, or congestive heart failure.
Heart failure
