Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease is a group of things at are all combined together and are affected by this terrible disease. The things that get affected that involve the human heart are arteries, veins, blood vessels, and capillaries. Heart disease causes many different kinds of problems that are related to the process known as atherosclerosis. The condition happens to a person when a good size amount of plaque has built up in their arteries. The results from this occurring narrows the room inside of our arteries and makes the blood flow a lot harder to travel through our arteries. A blood clot can even form which causes the flow of blood to stop and causes a person to have a heart attack or even a stroke. A heart attack happens when the blood flow is blocked by a blood clot. It slows down the blood flow or cuts it off entirely to the human heart. Many people are able to recover from their first heart attack but the second one can be life threatening. People after their first heart attack change their ways and bad habits. They become a lot more concerned of this ever happening to them again. They return to work after their heart attack and end up living many more years of a productive life. They will be on heart medication for the rest of their life so this prevents anything like this from happening to them again. An ischemic stroke is the most common kind of stroke that a person may end up having when they have cardiac problems. This kind of stroke happens when blood vessels that feed the brain end up getting blocked from a blood clot. When this gets cut off completely the cells to the brain will die because there is no blood flow going to the brain at all for them to live. When this happens to a person the outcome leaves them being unable to talk or walk like they use to before the stroke. The really good news with some of this frightening things happening when a person has a stroke is that all of their cells may not have been damaged just temporarily out of working
