Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Causes

Pathogenesis (disease development) Tendinosis calcarea is thought to result from degenerative processes, such as those triggered by reduced blood flow to the tendon attachment to bone. Mechanical causes such as an anatomically narrow space may also promote degeneration. It is likely that the development of calcifications is multifactorial. The calcification foci can cause discomfort due … Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Causes

Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Classification

According to ECG manifestations, acute coronary syndrome (AKS; acute coronary syndrome, ACS) is classified as follows (modified from): Non-ST elevation Unstable angina* (UA; ” chest tightness”/heart pain with inconsistent symptoms) or NSTEMI* * – English non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
