The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

Factors for Cardiovascular Disease Large scale studies have been undertaken to find the risk factors for many common diseases‚ including CVD. Epidemiologists (scientists who study patterns in the occurrence of disease) look for correlations between a disease and specific risk factors. Two commonly used designs for this type of study are; • Cohort studies- a group of people are followed over time to see who develops a disease • Case control studies- a group of people who have the disease are compared
