Artery

Pathophysiology behind Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease also known as CAD is a condition where there is a build up on the inside lining of the artery usually composed of cholesterol or plaques. This can cause the narrowing of the coronary artery lumen, which can then reduce the volume of blood that pass through them. The lack of poor blood flow can lead to myocardial ischemia, which is a lack of blood flow to the heart and it can lead to heart tissue death. Another condition…

Coronary Artery Disease Levi Gatherwright Morehead State University Coronary Artery Disease Coronary Artery Disease, CAD for short, is caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply the heart with oxygenated blood. The plaque (Atheroma) is a waxy like substance that consists of calcium, lipid compounds, and blood clotting compounds such as macrophages and fibrin. The buildup takes many years to accumulate; the plaque eventually swells the arterial wall restricting blood…

Coronary artery disease is the impedance or blockage of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart, usually due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The most common symptom of coronary artery disease is angina (also called angina pectoris). Angina is often referred to as chest pain. It is also described as chest discomfort, heaviness, tightness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, or squeezing. It is often mistaken indigestion or heartburn. There are approximately…

Coronary artery disease is a potentially fatal and serious disease that affects the lives of many people all over the world. This disease is the most common form of cardiovascular disease in the United States. There is a serious financial impact on the population due to the prevalence and the severity of the disease. While there is no current cure to the disease, it is preventable. There currently are ways to treat coronary artery disease through lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and surgery…

Human Right Coronary Artery, written by M.R Kaazempur-Mofrad and C.R. Ethier, analyzes mass transport patterns in a realistic right coronary artery model and looks at what affects mass transport from blood to the wall of the artery. The researchers were looking for any relationships between atherosclerosis, a disease of the arteries characterized by built up plaque on their inner walls, and hemodynamic and mass transport patterns. To begin, a model of the right coronary artery of a forty-seven…

Coronary Artery Bypass Coronary Artery Bypass is a type of procedure that improves the blood flow to the heart. Surgeons will perform Coronary Artery Bypass of patients who have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease. The disease know as coronary heart disease is known as when a waxy substance known as plaque buildup inside the coronary arteries this occurs in the arterys which supply your heart with oxeye not rich blood in time the blood can become thickend and harden which can very easily…

disease could affect anyone children, men, women, and even adult. There are different types of heart disease, which are coronary artery disease (CAD), congenital heart disease (CHD), heart attack, and rheumatic heart disease. But no matter how different types of heart disease are but they still damage the human heart. For health coronary, the muscle…

Coronary artery disease continues to maintain its status as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is a high priority of clinicians not only to manage the acute symptoms of coronary artery disease, but also to prevent future major adverse cardiac events, such as acute myocardial infarction and cardiac death. Percutaneous coronary intervention is a nonsurgical procedure to treat atherosclerosis within the heart’s vessels (cite). Percutaneous coronary intervention, a…

Coronary artery Disease (CAD) is when there is build up of plaque within the arteries of the heart. Coronary arteries are blood vessels of the heart that pump blood to the outer part of the thick heart muscle wall. If the artery wall of the vessel were damaged, cholesterol would begin to deposit into the damaged wall. The white blood cells would follow after to remove the build up of cholesterol leading to an inflammatory response. Repeated inflammatory responses would lead to blood vessels…

My heart disease essay is about Coronary artery disease. Coronary heart disease is a disease in a waxy substance called plaque which builds up inside the coronary arteries. The arteries supply oxygen and rich blood to your heart muscle. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is atherosclerosis and the buildup occurs over many years. Coronary heart disease is also a narrowing of the small blood vessels. Coronary artery disease can’t be cured, but treatment may help the disease.…
