Myocardial Infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack, happens when oxygen-rich blood fails to reach your heart due to artery blockage. The lack of blood in the heart causes the tissues to lose oxygen and eventually die. Heart attack is a critical condition that causes millions of deaths worldwide and in several situations hampers our body functioning as well. Obstructed blood flow can result in the accumulation of fluids in our lungs and create severe complications.

Brain stroke is a potentially fatal condition that develops due to insufficient blood flow to areas of the brain. Brain stroke usually occurs due to either bleeding in the brain or a blocked artery. The brain cells in that location start to die from a lack of oxygen when there isn't a constant flow of blood. A brain stroke can happen across ages but some people are more at risk than others. Strokes are more prevalent as people age (about two-thirds of strokes happen in people over 65).

Insulin that is released by the pancreas regulates the entry of glucose (sugar) into the bloodstream. For a patient suffering from diabetes, there is inadequate secretion of insulin resulting in various kinds of health issues. Diabetes can be broadly classified into type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
