1) damage to endothelial cells of artery
2) inflammatory response
3) migration of white blood cells into area
4) build up of cholesterol
5) formation of atheroma
6) loss of elasticity of artery and narrowing of lumen
7) this process is self-perpetuating

∙ 14y agoit becomes "clogged" with the development of thrombus thus reduce the blood supply to the heart muscle. this then can cause ischemic and eventually lead to death of the heart muscle if not treated properly.

What happens if you have to much lipids?
you could end up with the coronary artery daisies atherosclerosis or have obesity
What is a fat embolism?
A fat embolism is when fat enters the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel causing loss of blood flow to an area of the body. This can lead to a stroke if it occurs in the carotid arteries or a heart attack if it happens in the coronary arteries.
What is the medical term meaning agent against angina?
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort caused by coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle does not get as much blood as it needs. This usually happens because one or more arteries in the heart become narrowed or blocked, also known as ischemia.
What is the purpose of the coronary artery and what happens if there is a blockage?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG] and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life.
What happens to the body when a person has atherosclerosis?
They have the sudden urge to give rimjobs.
What happens if the coronary artery is blocked?
You have a heart attack.
What happens when plaque builds up in the blood vessel walls?
Plaque buildup within the arteries is commonly known as Atherosclerosis. This has been linked to many things ranging from high cholesterol all the way to the newly discovered Low-Carb diets.There are many things that you should consider if you believe that you have Atherosclerosis. Visiting your Doctor should be #1 on your list. At the very end of the day your Physician is the only one qualified to tell you whether or not you even have Atherosclerosis, let alone how to go about treating it.
What happens when oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood?
There are at least two places in the adult body where this occurs. (1) In the visceral pleura of the lung, deoxygenated blood coming originally from the bronchial arteries drains into the pulmonary veins (which now have oxygen) where they head back to the left side of the heart. (2) Some portions of coronary arteries and veins surrounding the heart are not able to return to the coronary sinus in the posterior portion of the heart where most veinous return ends. They drain directly into the oxygenated blood of the left side of the heart. What happens then? Nothing terrible as it occurs all of the time in small amounts.
What happens in the arteries?
The blood runs through them
What happens when coronary circulation is prevented in humans?
When coronary circulation is prevented in humans the result is a heart attack. The function of the coronary circulation is to nourish tissues of the heart.
Where can you find coronary circulation?
Coronary Circulations is the blood supply to the heart. The major arteries of the coronary supply are listed below. The supply to the heart is strange, in that blood only flows through its arteries during ventricular diastole (when the ventricles relax). This happens because of the Aortic valve, which stops backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventircle. The valve is, in essence, a flap that sits over the opening to the aorta so that when the heart is relaxed the aortic blood will push againts it and hold it down, but when the veinctricla contract the flap is forced up and open to allow flow out of the ventricle. The very first arter from the aorta is the one supllying the heart (the Coronary Artery). It comes from the aorta just after the aorta come from the heart. For this reason it is blocked by the flap of skin during systole (contraction). When diastole occurs the flap is no longer pushed up so it no longer blockes the coronary supply. This is somewhat hard to explain in words and I am not aware of any way to add diagrams to this site yet but i hope this helped, or at least i hope you found it interesting. Main arteries of the heart (very abreviated): Left Coronary; Right Coronary; Right Marginal; Left Marginal; Anterior Inverventricular; Posterior Interventricular.
