Two Main Coronaries

Anatomy Of The pulmonary, Coronaries and aorta arteries Gross anatomy The heart and great vessels are roughly in the middle of the thorax, being surrounded laterally and posteriorly by the lungs and anteriorly by the sternum and the central part of the thoracic cage. The heart acts a twofold, self-modifying suction and pressure pump, the parts of which work in union to push blood to all parts of the body. The right half of the heart (right heart) gets ineffectively oxygenated (venous) blood

The coronary system, is made of ‘arteries; arterioles, ;capillaries, ‘venules and veins’;. The ‘coronary arteries’ begin as the ‘right and left main coronary arteries’ which breach the ‘ascending aorta’ directly over of the ‘aortic valve’ (coronary ostia).they include main two branches ‘left coronary artery and right coronary artery’ ‘left coronary artey more divided into two core branches ‘left anterior descending artery, and left circumflex atery’,LAD have further branches diagonal1,diagonal2

knowledge at quite a fast pace. Treatments, cures, and vaccines for various diseases and disorders are being developed constantly, and yet, coronary disease remains the number one killer in the world.      The media today concentrates intently on drug and alcohol abuse, homicides, AIDS, and so on. What a lot of people aren’t realizing is that coronary disease actually accounts for about 80% of sudden deaths. In fact, the number of deaths from heart disease approximately equals to

learned many of the habits that can cause heart disease, but still do the things anyway. Some people stop doing many of the things that can cause heart disease, but continue to do one thing that could still give them heart disease. Smoking is one of the main causes of heart disease and people should stop smoking if they care about their heart. Smoking being addictive makes it hard for people that want to start taking care of their heart to do so because they cannot stop smoking. Although many of the habits

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary Heart Disease affects the circulatory system specifically the heart. Arteries called the coronary arteries surround the heart and provide nutrients and oxygen so the heart can operate. Sometimes cholesterol or fatty deposits build up on the walls of the artery blocking and reducing the amount of blood that can flow through the artery. These obstructions block nutrients and oxygen from getting to the heart’s muscles, which can then weaken the heart’s ability to pump

of the greek diet and how it’ll make you live forever. Contrasting, the statistics of the country tell another story, one of unhealthiness and disease. What are the causes, what could be causing so many people to die from Coronary Heart Disease? When Coronary Heart Diseases main causes are bad habits such as unhealthy diets and smoking, and other bad life choices. Could it be that Greece is in poverty? Could the actual majority of citizens be eating unhealthy? Or is

NONCONVENTIONAL RISK MARKER C-Reactive Protein (CRP) One of the best-studied biomarker of inflammation process is the acute-phase reactant CRP. Some studies found that cells within human coronary arteries can also elaborate CRP. Many trial showed that CRP, predicts risk of cerebrovascular, CAD, peripheral arterial disease among apparently healthy persons, even if LDL cholesterol levels are not high.38 individuals with high CRP levels and low levels of LDL-C actually have higher absolute vascular

performance of the heart and the main cause of death amongst heart conditions is Coronary Heart Disease, according to the NHS website. This is when the heart muscle receives inadequate blood flow due to an interruption of its blood supply, (Tortora and Dickenson 2011). Coronary Artery Disease is the most common type. The heart is a muscle that requires oxygen and this depends on the supply of blood from the coronary arteries. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) as well as being the main cause of death amongst the

• Disease or Physiological state I decided to talk about calcification of coronary arteries as disease to evaluate it with one of the modalities we studied on this course during this semester. I chose to discuss calcification of coronary arteries for two reasons: 1. It can be evaluated by known radiology modality (Computed Tomography), and I thought it is good idea to re-evaluate the calcification of coronary arteries with one of the equipment we studied in this course then to compare between them
