What can the narrowing of coronary arteries cause?

If you didn't already answer your question inside of your question, it could be a heart attack. aka cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is simply the complete shutoff of the arteries to the heart so that the heart is essentially stuck and cannot pump any blood toward or away from itself. So the heart stops working, or arrests itself. Otherwise, things like infections or simply the heart having to strain itself to the point of causing pain in the chest can be caused by partially clogged arteries. The partially clogged arteries can be caused by any number of things. Fast food is commonly known as a plaque builder which can cause clogged arteries and chest pain.

Can chest tube Clogging lead to infection?

Chest tube clogging can lead to infection. The chest tube is there to remove fluid from around the lung. If the tube becomes clogged, the fluid builds up around the lung. This fluid can become infected, which is called an empyema. An empyema can require a major operation to remove the thick and infected material from around the lung. Chest tube are more frequently being left in for home care and the patient discharged from home. If the tube stops draining, it either means there is no more fluid to drain, or the tube is clogged. If the tube is clogged and the fluid accumulates, this is a set up for an infection related to a clogged tube.

What is the relationship between coronary artery disease and a heart attack?

atherosclerosis is a condition where plaque builds up in your arteries. This can narrow the artery, reducing blood flow and oxygen perfusion. In the case of the coronary system this reduced perfusion can lead to chest pain or a heart attack. this condition can be worsened if the plaque build up ruptured. the body will respond to this by building a clot around the area, further reducing blood flow and oxygen. worst case scenario this will lead to an acute myocardial (AMI) causing cell death to cardiac muscle.
