Problem Coronary heart disease is a chronic disease in which plaque‚ fatty deposits‚ builds up inside the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. The build up of plaque is called atherosclerosis and can develop for many years undetected. Some common symptoms of coronary heart disease are chest pain‚ shortness of breath‚ and extreme fatigue with exertion‚ in turn increasing the risk of other health issues such as angina pectoris and eventually heart attacks. Today‚ coronary heart disease is

fatalities from coronary heart disease (CHD) in Australia has steadily declined‚ however it remains one of the leading causes of all deaths and the number one cause of cardiovascular deaths among Australian population (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare [AIHW]‚ 2011). Coronary heart disease refers to the conditions that affect the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with nutrients and oxygen (Craft‚ Gordon‚ & Tiziani‚ 2011).

It may be surprising that while many women believe breast cancer is most threatening to them‚ it is a fact that they are eight times more likely to die of a heart attack. There

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. When plaque builds up in the arteries‚ the condition is called atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). The buildup of plaque occurs over many years. (nhlbi.nih.gov) CHD AND TREATMENTS: CHD is the most common type of heart disease. In the United States‚ CHD is the #1 cause of
Premium Heart Artery Atherosclerosis
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a disease in which waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries are used to supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart‚ so if they’re continuously blocked up‚ it can be very dangerous. If the flow of this oxygen-rich blood is reduced or blocked‚ a heart attack can occur. It is the number one cause of death in the United States for both men and women and although this type of disease mainly happens at an older age‚ it can happen
