What is a person with a blocked coronary artery most likely to suffer from?
Obviously coronary heart disease! A blocked coronary artery reduces blood flow & thus Oxygen to the heart which in turn causes Angina when a person will experience pain & breatlessness. Without treatment a blockage can cause a heart attack.
What is the medical term meaning record of an artery?
You are likely referring to an angiogram. Angiogram means the 'recording' of any blood vessel, not necessarily coronary. I would say your best answer is 'coronary angiography' this is performed via a procedure called 'cardiac catheterization'
Will the compression of CPR causes the leakage of the blood when a person's coronary artery is burst and experiences heart attack?
You would not know if a persons Coronary Artery has burst in the field. That is something that would require a surgeon (or more likely autopsy) to discover. Coronary Arteries very rarely burst, though they do become blocked. The most common place for vessels to burst is in the brain. If a person suffers a heart attack, perform CPR. Don't worry about the cause, nor should you worry about leaking blood from internal injuries.
When you will die when you cut vein or artery?
It depends on the severity of the cut. If you cut an artery, you are more likely to die, or at least more quickly.
What heart disease is a group of cardiac disabilities resulting from an insufficient supply of oxygenated blood to the heart?
Ischaemic Heart Disease (coronary artery disease or CAD) is a condition in which atheroma (fatty deposits) builds up in the linings of the walls of the coronary arteries. This causes a narrow artery and reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This process can occur in other arteries of the body. Important arteries which, if affected can have medical consequences, are the carotid arteries in the neck, (which supply blood to the brain), and the femoral /popliteal arteries in the legs. In these situations a bruit (noise) may be heard over the area affected (i.e. carotid or femoral arteries), through a stethoscope. Atheroma at a certain point, results in obstruction to the blood flow of the coronary arteries, which leads to the inability to provide adequate oxygen to the cardiac muscle, therefore an inability to meet demand. Therefore when the heart has to work harder (i.e. in exercise, or in certain medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or anaemia insufficient blood reaches the heart muscle. The muscle is then said to be ischaemic. Ischaemia can also occur from coronary artery spasm, or when the heart is enlarged from increased strain, such as in high blood pressure (hypertension) or tightness at the root of the main blood vessel leading from the heart (aortic stenosis). In practice, a reduction in coronary artery diameter by 50% or more, on coronary arteriogram is judged significant, and will most likely cause symptoms of angina. Myocardial Ischaemia is manifested in central chest pain, causing stable angina, unstable angina and myocardial infarction (MI).
Where would a blood clot in which artery of the coronary circulation would be more likely to cause sudden death?
The right coronary artery would more likely cause sudden death. The RCA supplies all of the right ventricle and more than a quarter of the left ventricle; therefore, blood clotting in the RCA would affect more than half of the heart.
Where is it most likely for the coronary artery to block and what would be the effect?
along the walls

How is heredity a risk factor for ischemia?
People whose parents have coronary artery disease are more likely to develop it. African-Americans also are at higher risk.
What causes angina pectoris?
Usually a stenotic coronary artery caused by atherosclerosis. The stenotic (narrowed) artery can give a brief period of ischemia (withholding of blood) to a region of the heart, which is felt as an intense pain. Angina pectoris is a sign that a more serious episode of ischemic attack can happen for that artery. If it is left untreated, it is very likely that the artery will eventually become completely clogged and the ensuing prolonged ischemia will cause a myocardial infarction (i.e. heart attack).
What kind of weather would an occluded front likely bring?
An occluded front would likely bring cold and dry weather.
What would happen if an artery or vein was damaged?
I assume you mean with a needle.It will hurt like hell, blood will come out rapidly (possibly with enough force to push the plunger back automatically), and you need to immediately apply pressure and treat the wound or you could be in some serious trouble.Arteries have thicker walls and are deeper, so you will most likely know if you hit an artery instead of a vein. Do NOT inject into your artery, this is very dangerous.
Does coronary heart disease affect both men and women?
Yes. However, relatively speaking, women are significantly less vulnerable to major cardiac events, in their reproductive years, due to the postulated preventive effects of estrogen. After menopause, women are equally as likely, as men, to have significant coronary artery disease.

What is the total blockage of one or more coronary arteries due to plaque buildup?
When the coronary artery is blocked, it could lead to a heart attack, no doubt a very serious condition. The blockage of a coronary artery is caused by a buildup of plaque. This blocks blood flow through the artery, depriving tissue of oxygen. Plaque is a substance made of cholesterol, a form of fat (lipid) which when accumulated can be very dangerous to the blood vessel. This plaque cannot be removed naturally and buildup can be slowed or even prevented by a healthy diet.
What is coronary arterial calcification?
coronary artery calcifications is a fancy word for plaque. it is a build up of fat in the artery, causing it to narrow and if left untreated, it will close altogther resulting in heart attack . the coronary arteries, right and left, supply blood to the heart muscle. Calcifications or plaque buildup of the right or left Corodid arteries .( these are the two large arteries on each side of the neck that supply blood flow to the brain) If left un-treated, can cause a person to feel dizzy or confused and if arteries completely close, can and will most likely lead to a stroke......Tom Wade..
