Los signos, los síntomas y las complicaciones variarán según el tipo de enfermedad isquémica del corazón que tenga. Algunas personas informan síntomas severos de enfermedad isquémica del corazón, pero otras no presentan ningún signo o síntoma. Si tiene una enfermedad isquémica del corazón “silenciosa”, es posible que no experimente ningún síntoma hasta que tenga complicaciones, como eventos coronarios agudos, incluido un ataque al corazón.

Su médico diagnosticará la enfermedad isquémica del corazón según sus síntomas, su historia médica y familiar, sus factores de riesgo y los resultados de las pruebas y procedimientos. Debido a que las mujeres y sus médicos pueden no reconocer los síntomas de la enfermedad isquémica del corazón, que son diferentes a los de los hombres, es posible que estas no obtengan un diagnóstico o tratamiento tan rápido como los hombres. Es importante buscar atención de inmediato si tiene síntomas de enfermedad isquémica del corazón.

Your doctor will diagnose pneumonia based on your medical history, a physical exam, and results from certain diagnostic tests such as a chest x ray, blood tests, or blood culture. Your doctor may recommend other tests—sputum test, chest computed tomography (CT) scan, pleural fluid culture, pulse oximetry, or bronchoscopy—if you're in the hospital, have serious symptoms, are older, or have other health problems.

Risk factors for DIC include infection, injury, lifestyle habits, and other medical conditions.

Many factors such as age (being younger than two years old or 65 of older), smoking, and other medical conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), or people who have weak immune systems due to HIV/AIDS, chemotherapy (a treatment for cancer), or organ or blood and marrow stem cell transplant procedures can increase your chances of getting pneumonia and having more severe pneumonia.

Age, family history and genetics, lifestyle, heart disease or other medical conditions, race, sex, and a history of surgery can all raise your risk of developing the structural and electrical anomalies that cause atrial fibrillation. Even in a healthy heart, a fast or slow heart rate—from exercising or sleeping, for example—can trigger atrial fibrillation.

After you are diagnosed with vasculitis, it is important to follow your treatment plan. Your doctor may recommend additional follow-up care and medicines to avoid complications. If vasculitis responds to treatment, it may go into remission.

The types of circadian rhythm disorders are advanced or delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, irregular or non–24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder, and shift work or jet lag disorder. The type you may have is based on your pattern of sleep and wakefulness.

The signs and symptoms of pneumonia can be mild or severe and may include a cough with phlegm (a slimy substance), fever, chills, and trouble breathing. Possible complications may include bacteremia, septic shock, lung abscesses, pleural effusions, empyema, pleurisy, renal failure, or respiratory failure.

Currently, there are no screening methods to determine who will develop sporadic LAM. Your doctor may recommend screening or genetic tests before you get pregnant if you have TSC or TSC-LAM. If you have TSC, your doctor may also recommend strategies that may slow down the development of LAM.
