by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) because of narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery by fatty plaques. If the oxygen depletion is extreme‚ the effect may be a myocardial infarction (heart attack); if the deprivation is insufficient to cause infarction (death of a section of heart muscle)‚ the effect may be angina pectoris‚ or spasms of pain in the chest.

Every year new core measures are added and old ones are either retired or modified as new evidence-based research surfaces.

The results of the study were absolutely unequivocal with a finding of an increased risk of myocardial infarction in women of 2.24 and in men of 1.43. the reasons for the sex difference are several including genetic factors (Bennett 2004) and hormonal factors (Chapman 1999) To take

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prominent cause of death for all ages in the United States. In general‚ there is a buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries. CAD is described as a complex chronic inflammatory disease‚ regarded as plaque accumulation resulting in reduction of oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart (Sayols-Baixeras‚ Lluis-Ganella‚ Lucas‚ & Elosua‚ 2014). “Plaque is made up of deposits of cholesterol and other substances in the artery” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The Cardiopulmonary Department focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and lung conditions.One example of a heart conditoin is a myocardial infarctions‚ more commonly known as heart attacks‚ are typically caused by a blood clot in the coronary artery which can restrict blood flow‚ this in turn can cause the heart’s pumping function to decrease ( Heart Attack. 2017). An example of a cardiovascular condition is a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)‚ or a stroke‚ is caused by lack of bloodflow
