The major promoter of fatty plaque buildup in the coronary arteries is high cholesterol. High cholesterol can be treated with dietary changes or medication.

Who coined the term artery?

The heart's muscle, like any other muscle, would require its own supply of oxygen and nourishment. Its own quota for self is obtained through an exclusive set of arterial channels which originate from the mouth of the aorta. These special tubes travel the surface of heart as if embracing it. These are shaped like a "corona" (crown), hence the name coronary arteries. The term was coined by Galen, the great Roman anatomist and physician, in the second century A.D. The pencil-sized coronary arteries originate from the principle arterial trunk known as aorta. The ancient Greeks first used the term artery. It means "air pipe" as they thought that was what went through them. Galen later used the same term.


Will serrapeptase eat an artificial artery?

Serrapeptase acts on NON-living protein, and not all non-living proteins at that.Some artificial arteries are made of polyester (not a protein) and collagen (protein), so they may be at risk. But some artificial arteries are made of polymers (not protein) and shouldn't be at risk at all. If your artificial artery is composed of anything that is protein in nature, it would be best to test it against serrapeptase in advance of taking any serrapeptase.Perhaps using serrapeptase over a period of months would eliminate the need for adding artificial arteries (if it's not an emergency)?Worth a thought.

How smoking effects heart and respiratory system?

Raised blood pressure and heart rateConstriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperatureLess oxygen carried by the bloodStickier blood, which is more prone to clottingDamage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the buildup of fatty deposits on the artery walls)Reduced blood flow to extremities like fingers and toesIncreased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply.Causes bad chemicals to be taken to your heart


What does HDL Cholesterol mean?

HDL Cholesterol stands for "High-density Lipoproteins", which is the `good' cholesterol. A high level of HDL cholesterol in the blood is thought to lower the risk of coronary artery disease.


What is cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy?

CADASIL is characterized by a series of strokes, which is thought to be triggered by genetically determined deficiencies of small cerebral arteries.


Where is the Circle of Willis?

The Circle of Willis is located at the base of the brain. The term refers to a junction between the arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is formed at the end of the right and left internal carotid arteries. Leaving the circle are the blood vessels of the brain itself - the "cerebral arteries". Great answer, it is the mass of arteries that circle around each other in the junction for the brain, I didn't realize they were at the base of the brain. I thought they were more towards the front and middle, kind of, behind the eyes, (sorry for the big technical terms). But I haven't heard it described better.

Why is the heart connected to other organs?

Organs in the body are not directly connected to the heart. The heart pumps the blood through the circulatory system. The blood goes from the heart, to the arteries, to the capillaries, to the veins and back to the heart. These arteries, capillaries and veins run all through out the body to every organ to supply the body with blood. Even thought the heart is not directly connected to the organs its connected to every organ via arteries and veins.
