Heart Disease

Cardiac Biomarker

Smoking contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which harm the intima and the media layers of arteries and predisposing to thrombi, aneurism formation and sclerosis (hardening of the vessel wall).

To answer your question, these plaques do regress with time, but diet and quitting smoking are necessary.

usuallly, if it is heart disease, the heart is affected, which can cause upsets with the blood flow. not having a sufficient blood flow can cause multiple affects of the body. because the blood flow moves all around the body, it carries nutrients and oxygen which is a main one. If the oxygen cant get to the cells of your body. you can die.

Nausea and/or abdominal swelling in CHF may be the result from the buildup of fluid in the body and the backup of blood in the liver. There is a strong connection to nausea and the liver, even in healthy individuals.

There is known digestive dysfunction with CHF. The pancreas is part of the digestive system. The pancreas is responsible for the amount of insulin secretion.

It is also known and common for heart failure to cause hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia occurs when the pancreas secretes too much insulin and too much glucose is taken out of the bloodstream resulting in what is known as a "blood sugar drop". This drop can cause nausea. If the blood sugar is the issue in an individual with CHF, they can try eating some fruit or drinking some orange juice to reduce the nausea feeling.

There are many risk factors for heart disease. A family history of the disease should mean that the offspring be a bit more careful with their own cardiac health. Chances will increase with unhealthy living.

MI - Myocardial Infraction

CHF - Cardiac heart failure

ASD - Atrial septal Defect

VSD - Ventral septal defect

Contagious diseases are caused by Viruses, Bacteria and Germs. Heart disease is caused by a degenerative condition caused by age or environmental conditions in the body.

high blood preasure can cause atheromas and thrombosis, an athroma is like a baloon pushing out of the artery wall wich can pop and kill you, a thrombosis is a clot that forms on the artery wall that can loosen and flow into the heart or the conary artery leading to a heart attack

Normally parts which are bruised turn black. You probably jammed your thumb somewhere. It is the blood inthe bruised tissue that makes it look black.

In addition to the above answer, it also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It can also have a detrimental effect on the joints.

No. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction, or the death of heart myocardium (basically the heart muscle). Coronary Heart Disease (CAD) is a disease where plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the heart's coronary arteries (which feed the heart blood during diastole). Ruptures of these plaques can cause clots in may however result or cause myocardial infarctions, due to a sudden yet complete blockage of a coronary artery.

A defibrillator brings the cells of the heart back into a unified and timed contraction by introducing a electrical charge ( measured in joules which are equivalent to a one-amp-second of amplitude).

I don't know but brain damage occurs after 3 minutes.

Heart failure means that your heart can no longer pump blood adequately through the heart and out to the rest of the body. The blood literally "backs up" into the pulmonary system (lungs) and your lungs become too fluid filled to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. This process deprives your body's tissues/organs from the oxygen it needs and they begin to fail. This can be a very slow process if it is a chronic condition, or it can occur very quickly depending on how quickly the heart function is failing, and why (example: heart failure due to chronic high blood pressure or heart attack which results in heart tissue death)

That's not something you can directly calculate - otherwise people would never have heart attacks at all because we could predict who would be having one and when. The more "bad" cholesterol you have floating around, the greater chance you'll have a heart attack or stroke, but there is no direct formula for this.

People with angina are at risk of having a heart attack.

High-Fat diet increases the high level of cholesterol due to which it increases the chances of heart attack.

Well, the symptoms of "death" by cardiac failure are... dying... the symptoms and signs of cardiac failure could be: -Pulmonary Edema -Dispnea (feeling of lack of air) -Chest pain -Tiredness -Yugular filling (neck veins appear very filled) -Among others

Coronary heart disease affects the coronary arteries which supply glucose and oxygen to the heart.

Sometimes, the coronary arteries get blocked (because of blood clots or the lumen has become smaller), so less/ no oxygen or glucose can be supplied to the heart.

. If the blockage is lower down in the artery, then the symptoms will be milder, because a small area of muscle will suffer oxygen deprivation.

This disease can be fatal - as this will cause a heart attack (also known as "myocardial infarction") and the heart will eventually stop beating because the blood supply is completely cut off.

Even though there is no specific cure available, there are effective medicines. They have to do with the thinning of the septum. They will not cure it completely, though it will relieve many symptoms (which itself can extend life).

A diet in High saturated fat means there is more cholesterol in your blood, this is deposited throughout your veins/arteries and will decrease the diameter of them, meaning less blood can pass through and at a higher pressure. This is all detrimental to your heart and the functioning. Leading to Heart attacks, stroke, and failure of the organ.

Red meat is high in cholesterol, an animal fat that contributes to heart disease.

The heart muscle of the ventricles becomes rigid

LDL, also known as "bad cholesterol" is of greatest concern in atherosclerosis.
