What effect do you think narrowing of the arteries would have on the functioning of the heart?

The rate of the blood being pumped would be slowed down, thus resulting in less air (oxygen) being able to be produced

What is the relationship between ed and heart disease?
Heart disease atheroscerosis is narrowing of the arteries.
What are the heart's arteries?
The arteries that actually serve the heart itelf are known as coronary arteries.
What are the vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?
arteries
Which vessels carry blood away from the heart- vain or arteries?
Pulmonary arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart.
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.
What is the relationship between ed and heart disease?
Heart disease atheroscerosis is narrowing of the arteries.
Substances responsible for narrowing heart arteries?
lining platelets and carbon pieces it can cause insult
A narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart?
It is called carotid artery stenosis. This is the narrowing of the cartoid, the large artery in the neck that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain. It can lead to heart attacks or chest pain, and if not treated, to strokes and possibly death.
What is an evaluation of the heart's response during moderate exercise?
It is called a "stress test" and used with an electrocardiograph (ECG) to help determine what treatments are required for heart problems, such as angina or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
What does coronary angiography achieve?
injecting a dye into the vascular system to outline the heart and coronary vessels. Angiography allows the visualization of any blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the coronary arteries.
Is angina contagious?
Only if the people who get it have been indulging in high fat food and lack of exercise together. Angina is pain caused by narrowing of arteries around the heart, so no.
What is a type a heart attack?
Angina pectoris (also known as angina). This occurs when bloodflow is restricted due to the narrowing of the main arteries of the heart. Important Note: If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, call for ambulance immediately. Hope this helped:-)
What are the heart's arteries?
The arteries that actually serve the heart itelf are known as coronary arteries.
How heart functioning?
heart functioning pump energy fat
What are the effects of a clogged blood vessel on the body?
Atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries of the body affects all of the arteries in the body. The end result of long-term buildup of these deposits are usually seen first in the nervous system (stroke), heart (heart attack) and legs (claudication). Specifically, in the heart, buildup of fatty plaques causes narrowing of the lumen of the coronary arteries. Over time, this narrowing may get so severe that it reduces the amount of blood that can get through to the heart muscle supplied by that artery. This causes anginal symptoms, typically, but not heart attacks. Heart attacks are caused by a rupture of the fatty plaque, which results in clot formation in the vessel, stopping all blood flow to the heart muscle.
What are the 5 factors that may cause a person to develop hypertension?
1. Arteriosclerosis: Hardening of the arteries resulting from damage of the artery lining because of the high pressure. 2. Coronary artery disease: narrowing of the arteries of the heart. Can cause heart attacks and arrhythmias. 3. Left ventricular hypertrophy: The heart must work harder than usual due to high blood pressure, leading to an increase in the size and stiffness of the left ventricle. 4. Kidney Failure: High blood pressure can damage the arteries leading to your kidneys and the little arteries within your kidney. This leads to difficulty in blood filtering. 5. Dementia: Blocked blood flow to the brain causes cognitive functioning impairment.
What are the vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?
arteries
