Characteristics may further be described as being interspecific, intraspecific, and conspecific. Interspecific Interspecificity (literally between/among species), or being interspecific, describes issues between individuals of separate species.
Coronary heart disease (CAD) is the most common of many types of heart disease, not only in men but also in women. It is caused by atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which occurs when plaque from cholesterol and other substances accumulate in the arteries.
Endocarditis, an inflammation of the valves of the heart, causes symptoms that can be nonspecific and similar to those of many other conditions. For example, fever, malaise, weakness, and shortness of breath are common symptoms of endocarditis.
