How many arteries carry blood to the heart?
There are two main arteries that feed the heart. They are called the coronary arteries. These are the arteries that receive bypass surgery. The number of bypasses is determined by the number of blockages, not the number of arteries.
Is Coronary Heart Disease the same as a heart attack?
No. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction, or the death of heart myocardium (basically the heart muscle). Coronary Heart Disease (CAD) is a disease where plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the heart's coronary arteries (which feed the heart blood during diastole). Ruptures of these plaques can cause clots in may however result or cause myocardial infarctions, due to a sudden yet complete blockage of a coronary artery.
What are the soft elastic hollow tubes in the heart?
I think you mean the coronary arteries - the heart muscle itself has many blood vessels that feed it. When a big one gets blocked, the result is a heart attack.
How many arteries in hearts?
There are no arteries actually in the heart, but there are two main arteries on the outside of the heart they are: the coronary arteries and the left and right pulmonary arteries.
How many arteries are in the human body?
There are thousands of arteries in the human body ranging in size. The biggest artery is the Aorta which is located at the top of the heart. An artery is a vessel that carries oxygenated blood.
How many coronary arteries does the heart have?

Where is location of the coronary arteries of the heart?
there are many and they are located like fingers cradling the heart all over the outside
How many coronary arteries in the body?
There are too many to count. There are also variations from person to person. The biggest arteries branch into smaller arteries and those branch into smaller and smaller arteries down to the arterioles, which are very small and there are many of them. Some people say there are millions of arteries in the human body. One source says there are so many arteries in the body that if you laid them end to end, they would be about 60,000 miles long.
What is acute coronary's syndrome?
It means that there is something (could be many different things) obstructing the coronary arteries (i.e.. the arteries in the heart). Her uncle could be experiencing many different symptoms such as pressure in the chest, nausea, or sweating.

Coronary Heart Disease – A Silent Killer of Men and Women?
Coronary heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is a disease of the heart that forms when the veins that feed blood and oxygen to the heart become clogged. This disease affects millions of Americans, and kills over 500,000 people in the United States alone each year. However, coronary heart disease is not just a problem that Americans face. The disease is becoming more common in Europe and other Westernized countries. Heart related diseases kill more people around the world than any other disease or causes. Many are not aware that they are suffering from coronary heart disease. The disease slowly progresses. It is possible to see the beginning signs of coronary artery disease in a child of 10 years old or younger. The heart is a muscle and needs its own supply of enriching blood, just like every other muscle and organ in the body. The heart pumps this supply of blood through the hearts chambers. The coronary artery is the main arteries of the heart and has the job of bringing the most oxygen rich blood to the heart. There are other smaller arteries that feed the heart as well. Healthy coronary arteries have very smooth and flexible walls. The walls are strong, but can become easily irritated. Substances that irritate the arteries are calcium, cholesterol, fats and cell debris. When these substances pass through the arteries in excessive amounts, small amounts will stick to the artery walls. This causes the artery walls to slowly harden and starts the onset of coronary heart disease. Over the years, the artery will become narrower due to the buildup of these substances. Eventually the artery will become clogged. The buildup that occurs inside of the coronary artery walls is called atherosclerosis. This is when the fat, debris, cholesterol and calcium turns into a hardened plaque like substance. These plaque deposits build up and continuously become thicker. Symptoms of closing arteries are chest pressure and heart pain, which is referred to as angina. At this stage, the person affected has coronary heart disease. When the blood supply to the heart is completely blocked, the result is a heart attack. Heart bypass surgery is a common way that those with coronary artery disease remove plaque buildup in the arteries. Double, Triple and Quadruple bypass surgery is for those who have arteries in various chambers of the heart blocked. These surgeries are very risky. The best way to avoid getting coronary artery disease is to prevent the disease altogether by eating a healthy and balanced diet and establishing a regular exercise routine.
What are the body's main arteries called?
The responsible to carry the blood away from the heart are the arteries. Arteries have a major classification and it is the coronary arteries, that is also divided into two major branches off from the aorta that near to the point where the left ventricle and aorta meet.
