You recently had surgery to clean out a carotid that was 99 percent blocked How certain is it that you may have coronary disease as well?

Arthrosclerosis affects all blood vessels. The blocking of your carotid is a symptom, not the disease itself. Surgery on the carotid solves the problem there, but the overall problem is still present. Though you can't put numbers on it, i'd say you have a high chance of some degree of sclerosis on your coronaries, which doesn't mean you will need coronory surgery as well (though it doesn't prove you won't either).

Why must the physician be certain that there is no blockage in the cartoid artery before proceeding with a cartoid sinus massage?
The physician must be sure there is no evidence of blockage in the carotid artery before performing the procedure. Massage in a blocked area might cause a clot to break loose and cause a stroke.

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).

Who is blocking on MSN?
Do MSN Block Checkers really work? The short answer is NO, there is no 100% working method for finding out if you have been blocked! Here's why: Back in the day, due to the way Microsoft had configured the privacy settings for Passport and MSN Messenger accounts, a Block Checker could find out if a use was really offline or if they had blocked you, block checking was easy and common. Microsoft recently changed this privacy configuration so block checkers can no longer check you if a certain person has blocked you, unless the person has turned off this privacy feature, which is not very likely! In case the person has not turned off the privacy feature (it's On by default), a block checker will most likely tell you that the contact (the blocker) is offline and has not blocked you on MSN Messenger, even if they have blocked you.
