Is plaque build up a coronary heart disease?
Yes, the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels is called atherosclerosis.
What is thought to be the major promoter of fatty plaque buildup in the coronary arteries?
The major promoter of fatty plaque buildup in the coronary arteries is high cholesterol. High cholesterol can be treated with dietary changes or medication.
What Is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.
Is coronary artery disease infectious?
No. It is caused by the build up of plaque in the arteries.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.
Definition coronary artery total occlusion?
Coronary artery chronic total occlusion or CTO is a partial or total blockage of a coronary artery for a month or beyond. Coronary CTO is often caused by an accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque within the artery.
Myocardial is the total blockage of one or more coronary arteries due to plaque buildup?
occlusion
What does Coronary occlusion mean?
Coronary occlusion refers to the blockage of one or more coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. This blockage can be caused by a buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis), blood clots, or spasms in the arteries. Coronary occlusion can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction) if not treated promptly. Timely medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize damage to the heart.
What is the medical term meaning procedure to flatten the plaque in a partially blocked coronery artery?
Balloon angioplasty is the procedure to flatten the plaque in a partially blocked coronary artery.
Can unstable angina become stable angina?
Yes it can if the atherosclerotic plaque causing stable angina ruptures blocking the coronary artery partially. It is an example for acute coronary syndrome.
What does stenosed mean?
Narrowed, compressed, or closed. Plaque accumulation in a coronary artery can cause stenosis and obstruct the artery.
How can a atherosclerosis plaque affects coronary circulation?
occlusion of the internal lumen of the (vasa=arteries)dellay of the blood cicrulation
