CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Heart disease can take many forms. The form of heart disease I am focusing on is coronary disease. Different arteries supply different areas of the heart with oxygenated blood. If one or more of these arteries become narrowed or clogged as a result of coronary artery disease, or atherscelorosis the artery cannot fully supply the part of the heart it is responsible for. The heart is an effective pump only when good blood supply is maintained to all heart muscles.

If an artery becomes so clogged that blood cannot flow through it, the result is chest pain which could progress to a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI). "Myocardial" is a medical term that means "having to do with the heart" or "heart muscle". "Infarct" is a medical term for tissue death. During a myocardial infarction, the portion of the heart that is supposed to get blood from the diseased artery dies. However, cardiologists are trained to recognize symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue of coronary artery disease in patients before the symptoms becomes severe. A cardiologist is often able to treat coronary disease before it causes an MI. – http://myweb.com/contents/dmk_article396168

Cholesterol is a substance present in all of us. Our bodies make cholesterol. It's also present in meat and dairy foods. Plant foods don't have cholesterol. There are several types of cholesterol, including low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).

Angioplasty: This is a surgery that involves a balloon like form that is placed inside anArtery and is blown up to open the clogged artery.

There are two types of angina associated with coronary artery disease: stable and unstable. Whereas stable angina has a predictable pattern that occurs over time, unstable angina is different from the patient's usual pattern of chest pain. Typical symptoms of angina include a variety of sensations. For example, angina may involve only mild, vague discomfort that is not really perceived as pain but as more an ache. Or it may be a severe, intense, crushing pain in the center of the chest. The location of pain may differ, however, pain is usually felt beneath the breastbone. In addition to chest pain, there may be associated pain that radiates to the arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, or back. Patients are often pale, sweaty, and short of breath. Their blood pressure and heart rate may be higher than normal. They may have some abnormal heart rhythms. If the pain includes sharp, shooting, knifelike pain, it is probably not angina.-http://www.heartpoint.com
