which plaque builds up mainly inside the medium to large elastic and muscular arteries that carry oxygenated blood to the heart and other areas of the body. Over time‚ plaque‚ made up of fat‚ cholesterol‚ calcium‚ and other substances‚ hardens and narrows the arteries limiting the flow of oxygen to organs and other parts of the body. This condition is the most significant underlying cause of heart failure‚ coronary artery disease‚ strokes and infarction resulting from ischaemia of the heart‚ brain

Congestive heart failure is the process in which the heart becomes in-able to maintain circulation for the requirements of the body at an effective rate‚ As the heart is one of the body’s vital organs‚ it plays an important role and has some degree of compensating mechanisms to balance the body’s needs with existing disease of the heart. Eventually when the heart is no longer able to compensate heart failure occurs; congestion will then follow‚ resulting in insufficient supply of blood to the body

constant supply and flow of blood. Coronary heart disease is the term that describes conditions caused when the blood flow is interrupted or slowed. The most common cause of this is atherosclerosis; a build up of fatty deposits and plaque in the arteries‚ or blot clots. Depending on the sever ness of such a blockage‚ it can cause anything from minor chest pain to a fatal heart attack. This can damage and weaken the heart permanently even after a recovery.

Magnesium deficiency leads to an increase in myocardial levels of both sodium and calcium. This is a problem because Coronary Artery calcium is a predictor of near-term coronary heart disease events. In the face of growing magnesium deficiencies calcium becomes increasingly more toxic to human physiology. It is magnesium that actually controls bone density not calcium. Magnesium

the pressure of the blood within the artery as it flows into the heart during the rest period. Blood volume‚ the amount of blood pumped by the heart or cardiac output‚ and also the contraction of smooth muscle inside of the blood vessels or arterial tone are three contributing factors of blood pressure. In your case age plays a key factor‚ the reasoning behind that is as we age the continuous wear on the aorta and its branches causes stiffening of the arteries over time directly causing the gradual
