Fact Sheets

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a systemic disorder of narrowed peripheral blood vessels resulting from a buildup of plaque. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Peripheral artery disease can narrow and harden the arteries, restricting the blood flow from the heart. While PAD cannot be cured, lifestyle changes, medications, and other treatments can reduce symptoms and help slow or prevent the progression of the disease
Pheochromocytoma
A rare tumor that starts in the adrenal glands, leading to excessive levels of adrenaline and other hormones.
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
A heart attack is a condition that blocks blood flow to the heart and causes damage to the heart muscle. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
Atherosclerosis
Buildup of plaque in the arteries, causing them to narrow and stiffen and leading to reduced blood flow.
Robot-Assisted Heart Surgery
Robotic surgery is surgery in which a surgeon controls surgical instruments attached to robotic arms.
Preparing for Dialysis (AV Fistula)
An AV fistula is a procedure that connects an artery to a vein in preparation for dialysis. Learn about this procedure.
Aldosteronoma (Aldosterone-producing Adenoma)
A noncancerous tumor in the adrenal gland that secretes too much of the hormone aldosterone.
Blood Clots in Veins, Heart and Lungs
When blood clots form within blood vessels they can obstruct blood flow, which can cause blockages affecting the heart, lungs and other organs.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease is a buildup of cholesterol or plaque that causes arteries to stiffen, narrow, and restrict blood flow. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
