TVD in medical terms most commonly refers to Triple Vessel Disease, a serious heart condition.
Understanding Triple Vessel Disease (TVD)
Triple Vessel Disease is a type of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) where all three major blood vessels supplying the heart are blocked. According to the reference, this blockage is typically caused by atherosclerosis, which is the hardening or clogging of the arteries.
Key Aspects of TVD
- Cause: Atherosclerosis, leading to the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries.
- Severity: Significant, as it affects blood supply to the entire heart.
- Impact: Can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attack, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications.
