Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CHF stands for congestive heart failure, which is the inability of the heart muscle to pump blood efficiently, resulting in fluid buildup and overload in the body. CAD (coronary artery disease) is a narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body, usually in the legs, which can lead to complications such as a pulmonary embolism. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle that can cause damage and affect its ability to pump blood.
