What vessels are damaged during a heart attack?
Heart attacks or myocardial infarctions are caused by blockages of the coronary arteries or the blood vessels that provide the blood supply to the heart muscle itself.
Is coronary artery disease infectious?
No. It is caused by the build up of plaque in the arteries.
What type of heart failure is caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscles?
That would probably be coronary heart disease. Seeing as though the arteries that feed the heart muscle/the myocardium, with blood are called the coronary arteries.
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.
What 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 are the hart problems that are caused by salt?
hardening of the arteries
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 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.
What occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen?
When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition called ischemia, which can result in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This oxygen deprivation can be caused by blockages in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
The term for pain associated with deficient blood delivery to the heart that may be caused by the transient spasm of coronary arteries is?
Angina Pectoris
What type of disease is cardiovascular disease?
Cardiovascular Disease is a disease of the heart and circulatory system, it can be caused by the coronary disease where the fat builds up and deposits on the walls in the coronary arteries and the narrows the wall.Heart; blood vessels
Can a clot in the coronary artery cause a myocardial infarction?
Yes, a clot in the coronary artery can cause a myocardial infarction or a heart attack. Most heart attacks are caused by blood clots that come loose from the walls of the arteries.
