Coronary artery disease is the most common underlying cause of cardiovascular disability and death. Men are affected about four times as frequently as women; before the age of 40 the ratio is eight to one. Other predisposing factors are lack of blood supply; spasms in the coronary vessels, which cause and/or are caused by hypertension; diabetes; high cholesterol levels; adverse physical reactions to mental stress; and heavy cigarette smoking.

Extractions: Fat and cholesterol build up over years (artheriosclerosis), scarring artery walls. One day, the accumulated debris blocks an artery in the heart. Without blood, heart muscle cells stop working. A woman has a heart attack (myocardial infarction). If enough heart muscle dies, the heart attack is fatal. A blood clot stuck in a heart artery is called coronary thrombosis. Western thought about sex has been tainted by the notion that the female is a kind of imperfect or unfinished male. Medical science, however, is now demonstrating that women can do some things better, and that they have many biological and cognitive advantages.

Extractions: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed about 350,000 times annually in the United States, making it one of the most commonly performed major operations. CABG surgery is advised for selected groups of patients with significant narrowings and blockages of the heart arteries (coronary artery disease). CABG surgery creates new routes around narrowed and blocked arteries, allowing sufficient blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscles. How does coronary artery disease develop? Coronary artery disease occurs when atherosclerotic plaque (hardening of the arteries) builds up in the wall of the arteries that supply the heart. This plaque is primarily made of cholesterol. Plaque accumulation can be accelerated by smoking, high blood pressure , elevated cholesterol, and diabetes. Patients are also at higher risk for plaque development if they are older (greater than 45 years for men and 55 years for women), or if they have a positive family history for early heart artery disease.

Extractions: Coronary Artery Disease Also known as Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) , Coronary Arteryt Disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease. The National Institute of Health estimates that some 7 million Americans suffer from it. Each year more than 500,000 men and women in the US die of heart attacks caused by CAD. The coronary arteries , illustrated at right, surround the heart to supply the heart muscle with the fresh blood nourishment it needs to do its work of pumping blood throughout the rest of the body. Just like other organs, the heart needs a constant supply of oxygenated blood to feed itself. Coronary Artery Disease is an occlusion (obstruction) of the coronary (heart) arteries resulting from atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis). When the body goes into more strenuous activity, the heart has to work harder to supply the body's demands for fresh, oxygen-rich blood. When this happens, the heart's own need for oxygen rich blood rises, and the constrictions in coronary arteries prevent it from receiving the necessary amount. This insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscle results in oxygen deprivation, a condition called myocardial (heart) ischemia The image below left is an arteriogram showing occlusion of the right coronary artery.The illustration at right below shows a heart with diseased Left Anterior Descending (LAD) and Right Coronary Arteries (RCA). Stenosis is the diseased arterial tissue. A buildup of stenosis results in occlusion, or blockage, of an artery.

Oxygen is supplied to the heart by coronary arteries that wrap around the surface of the heart.

Extractions: n. A disease of the heart and the coronary arteries that is characterized by atherosclerotic arterial deposits that block blood flow to the heart, causing myocardial infarction. Wikipedia coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic heart disease, is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart ). While the symptoms and signs of coronary heart disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary heart disease would have evidence of disease decades before the first symptoms arise. After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood flow to the heart muscle . Current views are that an inflammatory process of the lining of the arteries, though poorly understood in specifics, promotes the disease progression.
