Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
The aorta is the main blood vessel that carries blood throughout the body. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when an area of the aorta becomes enlarged or balloons out. If the aneurysm becomes large enough, it may rupture.
Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias)
Each year millions of people experience abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), which are common as we age. For most, a normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). For athletic individuals, a normal resting heart rate may be as low as 40 to 60 bpm.
ACL Tear
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four ligaments that provides stabilization for the knee, and helps your knee move properly. If the ACL is torn by rapid twists or overuse, the injury can severely limit leg movement.
Acute and Chronic Aortic Dissection
Aortic dissection is defined as acute within 14 days after onset of symptoms. This definition is used in trials and in clinical practice. In contrast to patients with acute complications, such as rupture, rapid enlargement and malperfusion, patients with chronic dissection are treated for aneurysm formation.
Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains are caused when the strong ligaments that support the ankle are stretched beyond normal limits. This can be the result of repetitive or aggressive foot movements and may impair your mobility.
