Overview

Heart Attack
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, usually due to a blood clot forming over a ruptured cholesterol plaque in a coronary artery. Without prompt treatment, heart muscle damage can occur.
Uveitis
Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can cause pain, redness, and vision problems.
