What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries?
Heart disease typically does not cause fatty deposits in the arteries. Rather the process is the other way around: an unhealthy diet high in fat and cholesterol causes a build up of fatty deposits, and these deposits lead to heart diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease.
The most serious forms of heart disease is?
Coronary Heart Disease
What is the coronary artery disease?
Coronary heart disease refers to the failure of coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue. Coronary heart disease is the most common form of disease affecting the heart and an important cause of premature death. It's predicted that coronary heart disease will affect all the regions of the world by 2020.
How can heart disease damage your heart?
Heart disease can damage the heart in different ways depending on the disease. In CAD (Coronary Artery Disease), blockages in the lumen of the arteries can cause areas of the coronary muscle to shut down due to lack of oxygenation. If the plaques continue to build up in the heart's blood vessels, more coronary muscle shuts down. Undetected, this could lead to death as the heart does not have the strength to pump blood through the body.
What is ismatic heart disease?
Assuming that you mean ischemic heart disease, it is the same as coronary artery disease, where the arteries harden. It can be caused by a build up of cholesterol and prolonged exposure to certain herbicides.
What is cadiovascular disease?
A cardiovascular disease, is to do with your heart and blood vessels, AKA arteries and veins.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.

What substance can build up in arteries and lead to heart disease?
Fat (cholesterol). Atherosclerosis, or stiffening of the arteries, can cause build-up of fat inside the blood vessel walls, and the fat can become inflamed and calcified. This is called a calcified plaque. If the plaque gets vulnerable, the top of the plaque may rupture and the inside fat comes in contact with the circulating blood. This causes an immediate blood clot. If the plaque is in the coronary arteries, and if the blood clot blocks the coronary arteries, the result is a heart attack.
What do cigarettes do to your heart?
It can cause atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to plaque build-up), and increase your risk of coronary heart disease. The nicotine in cigarettes causes decreased oxygen to the heart muscle, increases blood pressure (hypertension) and it damages the heart wall tissue.
Are Coronary artery disease and heart disease the same?
No; Coronary artery disease is a heart disease; or, CAD is one a disease that progresses into to Cardiomyopathy (heart disease) and MI. CAD is an aetiology of heart disease.
What characteristics of heart disease make it an infectious or noninfectious disease?
it is a build up of plaque in the arteries, therefore it is non infectious
Will coronary occlusion cause congenital heart disease?
Congenital heart disease means you are born with this disease so coronary occlusion cannot be a cause of congenital heart disease.
