What will happen if the fat block the coronary artery?
Blockage of the coronary artery will result in a heart attack.
How are coronary arteries involved in a heart attack?
A blocked (occluded) coronary artery is what causes a heart attack.
What is the Medical term meaning heart block?
Atrioventricular Dissociation (or commonly known as Complete Heart Block).
Why might a thrombus in the anterior descending branch of the coronary artery cause sudden death?
Because it would block the blood flow and stop the heart.
What does the apex of your heart do I had a stress test done and am getting no blood at all to my apex do you know what causes this?
I'm really not sure, but it could be due to a coronary artery block where your right coronary artery isn't getting the necessary blood from you aorta...But that is just a guess...I would def. go to a cardiologist
Can a car accident with seat belt damage cause a coronary artery to become blocked?
It will only do that if your too short. If the seatbelt isn't fastend properly then it can block your artery. You should have kids be in a booster seat if your worried about this.
When does the blood flows through the coronary artery during left ventricular systole or right ventricular systole?
Neither, theoretically the two ventricles contract simultaneously. The coronary arteries begin as two holes just above the leaflets of the aortic valve. During systole the leaflets block the coronary arteries and prevent blood flow to them. It is during diastole (of both ventricles) that blood returns to the coronary vasculature.
What causes junctional tachycardia?
Most commonly it is due to digitalis toxicity...sometime it may be due to AV node block or coronary artery disease. Juctional tachycardia may be precipitated by Hyperkalemia in a patient with conduction system disease.
Why did Gutzon Borglum die?
I think, a block in the artery.
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.
Can a person die if they have 50 percent blockage in the heart?
No. Now a days you have advanced technology to protect you. Yourinterventionalcardiologist will put a wire either through the radial artery or femoral artery. The doctor will dilate the block byinflatinga balloon and may put a stent there in the coronary vessel. It is sort of minor surgical procedure and you will be cured. So please do not worry and take expert advise. Doctors are there to help you.
How can blocking an artery in the heart cause heart damge?
An artery is a pathway for the blood to travel to and from the heart. If the artery is block, the heart cannot release or receive blood, and therefore, causes heart problems.
