Los signos y síntomas frecuentes de la apnea del sueño son los ronquidos o los jadeos durante el sueño, la respiración reducida o ausente (denominada "episodio de apnea") y la somnolencia. La apnea del sueño sin diagnosticar o tratar impide el sueño reparador y puede causar complicaciones que afecten muchas partes del cuerpo.

You may have an increased risk for conduction disorders because of your age, family history and genetics, medical conditions, medicines, race or ethnicity, or sex. These factors can differ by the type of conduction disorder you have.

Your genes, or other causes such as medical conditions or medicines, can cause bleeding disorders. Sometimes a cause may not be known. Any problem that affects the function or number of clotting factors or platelets can lead to a bleeding disorder.

Signs and symptoms of RDS usually happen at birth or within the first few hours that follow. Depending on the severity of a newborn's RDS, he or she may develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia or other medical problems, such as bleeding in the brain, kidney failure, or lung complications.

The types of angina are stable, unstable, microvascular, and variant. The types vary based on their severity or cause.

Many people who have conduction disorders, such as first-degree AV block, may have no obvious signs or symptoms. Others may have signs and symptoms that occur in specific situations, such as when you experience physical or emotional stress or when you sleep. Conduction disorders can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias if undiagnosed or untreated.

Damage to the lung’s air sacs—called alveoli—causes ARDS. Fluid from tiny blood vessels leaks through the damaged walls of the air sacs and collects, limiting the lungs’ normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The damage also causes inflammation that leads to the breakdown of surfactant—a liquid that helps keep your air sacs open.

Your doctor will diagnose peripheral artery disease based on your medical and family histories, a physical exam, and results from one or more tests: ankle-brachial index, Doppler ultrasound, treadmill test, magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA), arteriogram, and blood tests.

Heart valve disease occurs if one or more of your heart valves don't work well. The heart has four valves—the tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves—that make sure blood flows in the right direction through your heart’s four chambers and to the rest of your body.

Si su médico recomienda la rehabilitación pulmonar, recibirá la atención de un equipo de proveedores de atención médica, que diseñará un plan que se ajuste a sus necesidades basados en la salud de sus pulmones, su edad y otros factores de salud. Una vez que finalice el programa, el equipo evaluará nuevamente la función pulmonar para ver si la respiración ha mejorado.

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of your body.

The signs, symptoms, and complications of vasculitis vary depending on which type of vasculitis you have, the organs involved, and the severity of the condition. Some people may have few signs and symptoms. Other people may become very sick.

Signs and symptoms of DIC depend on whether the condition is acute or chronic. Acute DIC is more severe and develops quickly over hours or days. Chronic DIC happens more slowly and sometimes has no signs or symptoms. Complications from DIC can occur from both the clotting that happens in the early stages of the condition and from bleeding in the later stages. Serious complications include organ damage and hemorrhage.

Los signos, síntomas y complicaciones pueden variar según el tipo de trastorno hemorrágico, su causa y si el trastorno es leve o más grave. Los signos y síntomas pueden ser obvios poco después del nacimiento de un niño o pueden no aparecer hasta la edad adulta. Las personas que tienen un trastorno hemorrágico leve pueden no tener ningún signo o síntoma hasta que se lesionen o tengan un procedimiento médico.

Su riesgo de desarrollar trastornos hemorrágicos puede aumentar por la edad, el historial familiar y genético, otras afecciones médicas y medicinas, y el sexo.
