What is the relationship between ed and heart disease?
Heart disease atheroscerosis is narrowing of the arteries.
A narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart?
It is called carotid artery stenosis. This is the narrowing of the cartoid, the large artery in the neck that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain. It can lead to heart attacks or chest pain, and if not treated, to strokes and possibly death.
Do arteries carry blood to the heart?
The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. However, most oxygen-rich blood is being carried away from the heart, meaning that most arteries are not carrying blood into the heart at all. Veins are responsible for carrying de-oxygenated blood towards the heart so that their oxygen supply can be replenished in the lungs.The two veins which actually enter the heart are the superior vena cava or the precava which carries blood from the upper half of the body into the heart and the inferior vena cava(IVC), also known as the posterior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower half of the body into the heart.
What is an evaluation of the heart's response during moderate exercise?
It is called a "stress test" and used with an electrocardiograph (ECG) to help determine what treatments are required for heart problems, such as angina or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
What is responsible for carrying blood away from the heart?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.This is true in all cases except the pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.Think of it this way: arteries take blood out of the heart, veins bring blood in.
What does coronary angiography achieve?
injecting a dye into the vascular system to outline the heart and coronary vessels. Angiography allows the visualization of any blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the coronary arteries.
Is angina contagious?
Only if the people who get it have been indulging in high fat food and lack of exercise together. Angina is pain caused by narrowing of arteries around the heart, so no.
What is a type a heart attack?
Angina pectoris (also known as angina). This occurs when bloodflow is restricted due to the narrowing of the main arteries of the heart. Important Note: If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, call for ambulance immediately. Hope this helped:-)
Are veins located throughout the body and responsible for carrying blood and oxygen away from the heart while arteries are responsible for carrying blood toward the heart to repeat the cycle?

What are the heart's arteries?
The arteries that actually serve the heart itelf are known as coronary arteries.
What are the effects of a clogged blood vessel on the body?
Atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries of the body affects all of the arteries in the body. The end result of long-term buildup of these deposits are usually seen first in the nervous system (stroke), heart (heart attack) and legs (claudication). Specifically, in the heart, buildup of fatty plaques causes narrowing of the lumen of the coronary arteries. Over time, this narrowing may get so severe that it reduces the amount of blood that can get through to the heart muscle supplied by that artery. This causes anginal symptoms, typically, but not heart attacks. Heart attacks are caused by a rupture of the fatty plaque, which results in clot formation in the vessel, stopping all blood flow to the heart muscle.
