Diseases/Circulatory

List of Diseases affecting the Circulatory System.

## Hypertension

*"High blood pressure is a common condition in which the force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.*

*"Your Victim has high blood pressure"*

* **Symptoms**: Dizziness I, Headache I
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (7%), Nervous (1%), Renal (2%)
* **Diagnostic Test**: Blood Pressure Test
* **Treatments**: Diuretics (80%) (7 days), Alpha blockers (100%) (15 Days)

## High cholesterol

*"When you have high cholesterol, you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries."*

*"Your Victim has high cholestrol"*

* **Symptoms**: Dizziness I, Irregular heartbeat, Nausea
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (7%), Nervous (2%)
* **Diagnostics Test**: Metabolic Panel
* **Treatments**: Strict Diet (70%) (31 Days), Statins (100%) (6 Days)

## Blood clots (Redemption)

"Blood Clots are gel-like clumps of blood. Some blood clots form inside your veins without a good reason and don't dissolve naturally."

*"Your Victim is having blood clots"*

* **Symptoms:** Swelling/bruising I, Leg Pain, Legs swelling
* **Affected Systems:** Circulatory (9%)
* **Diagnostic Test**: Ultrasound
* **Treatments**: Anticoagulants (90%) (15 Days)

## Angina

*"Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina is typically described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest."*

*"Your Victim is diagnosed with Agina"*

* **Symptoms**: Fatigue, Arm pain, Chest pain, Dizziness
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (17%), Nervous (2%)
* **Prerequisites:** Hypertension, High cholesterol
* **Diagnostic Test**: Exercise Electrocardiogram
* **Treatments**: Asprin (50%) (7 Days), Nitroglycerin (100%) (7 Days)

## Brain aneurysm

*"A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain."*

*"Your Victim has a Brain Aneurysm"*

* **Symptoms**: Nausea, Headache, Blurred Vision, Light Sensitivity
* **Affected Systems**: Nervous (16%)
* **Prerequisites**: Hypertension, Smoker
* **Diagnostic Test**: Brain MRI
* **Treatments**: Surgical Clipping (100%) (16 Days)

## Deep vein thrombosis (Redemption)

*"Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more of the deep veins in your body, usually in your legs. Deep Vein Thrombosis can cause leg pain or swelling, but may occur without any symptoms."*

*"Your Victim has Deep vein thrombosis"*

* **Symptoms**: Leg Pain, Swelling/Bruising, Shortness of Breath, Elevated Heart Rate, Coughing Up Blood, Dizziness
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (9%), Muscular (7%)
* **Prerequisites**: Blood clots
* **Diagnostic Test**: Ultrasound
* **Treatments**: Clot Busters (100%) (9 Days)

## Arrhythmia

*"Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical impulses in your heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly."*

*"Your Victim has an irregular heart beat"*

* **Symptoms**: Sweating, Chest Pain, Dizziness, Irregular Heart Beat, Elevated Heart Rate
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (21%), Nervous (3%)
* **Prerequisites**: Angina
* **Diagnostic Test**: Electrocardiography
* **Treatments**: Pacemaker (100%) (22 Days)

## Heart attack

*"A heart attack usually occurs when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood through a coronary artery- a blood vessel that feeds blood to a part of the heart muscle."*

*"Your Victim is having a heart attack"*

* **Symptoms**: Chest Pain, Arm Pain, Nausea, Shortness of Breath, Elevated Heart Rate
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (41%), Renal (13%)
* **Prerequisites**: Arrhythmia
* **Diagnostic Test**: Electrocardiography
* **Treatments**: Nitroglycerin (100%) (2 Days)

## Stroke

*"A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severly reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die."*

*"Your Victim is having a stroke"*

* **Symptoms:** Dizziness, Blurred Vision, Confusion, Paralysis, Headache
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (19%), Nervous (33%)
* **Prerequisites**: Hypertension, Blood clots
* **Diagnostic Test**: Brain MRI
* **Treatments**: Aspirin (50%) (2 Days), Thrombolysis (100%) (11 Days)

## Pulmonary embolism (Redemption)

*"Pulmonary Embolism is the blockage in one of the Pulmonary Arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely other parts of the body (Deep Vein Thrombosis)."*

*"Your Victim is diagnosed with Pulmonary embolism"*

* **Symptoms**: Shortness of Breath, Elevated Heart Rate, Coughing Up Blood, Chest Pain
* **Affected Systems**: Respiratory (25%)
* **Prerequisites**: Deep vein thrombosis
* **Diagnostic Test**: Pulmonary Angiogram
* **Treatments**: Anticoagulants (50%) (9 Days), Clot Busters (100%) (5 Days)

## Postphlebitic syndrome (Redemption)

*"Postphlebitic syndrome is caused by damage to your veins from a blood clot. This damage reduces blood flow in the affected areas."*

*"Your Victim is diagnosed with Postphlebitic syndrome"*

* **Symptoms**: Leg Pain, Swelling/Bruising
* **Affected Systems**: Circulatory (24%), Muscular (26%)
* **Prerequisites**: Deep vein thrombosis
* **Diagnostic Test**: Ultrasound
* **Treatments**: Postphlebitic Therapy (100%) (22 Days)
