Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a progressive disease that causes narrowing or occlusion of the coronary arteries‚ causing a decreased blood supply to the myocardial layer of the heart‚ and prevents the arteries from dilating. As a result the tissue is deprived of oxygen necessary to thrive‚ which in turn can lead to myocardial ischemia‚ leading to several types of infarctions. Depending on the area of the ischemia‚ there can be several complications. For example‚ a ST segment elevation myocardial

ABSTRACT Coronary artery disease (CAD)‚ also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary atherosclerosis‚ involves the progressive narrowing of the arteries that nourish the heart muscle. Often there are no symptoms‚ but if one or more of these arteries become severely narrowed‚ angina may develop during exercise‚ stress‚ or other times when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. Your coronary arteries are the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood‚ oxygen and nutrients

Pd. 6 Coronary Artery Disease Coronary heart disease (CHD)‚ also called coronary artery disease‚ is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. This plaque is made up of fat‚ cholesterol‚ calcium‚ and other substances found in the blood. When plaque builds up in the arteries‚ the condition is called atherosclerosis‚ the buildup of plaque occurs over many years. Over time‚ the plaque hardens which causes your coronary

Coronary Artery Disease CAD is caused from plaque buildup in the arteries. The plaque builds up in the little passage way in the artery causing the flow of blood to lessen‚ which in turn can cause a heart attack. This plaque can also break off and will cause a blood clot‚ which can stop the flow of blood through the vein. Risk factors such as “smoking‚ diabetes‚ high cholesterol‚ and high blood pressure” (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute‚ page 1) can cause the plaque buildup

Peripheral Artery Disease and Risks The common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is atherosclerosis. Less common causes of peripheral artery disease may be blood vessel inflammation‚ injury to your limbs‚ unusual anatomy of your ligaments or muscles‚ or radiation exposure (Mayo Clinic‚ 2016). The risk factors for PAD are the same as those for atherosclerotic disease; they are smoking‚ hypertension‚ diabetes‚ increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)‚ decreased levels of high-density

Background to product Artery aid is a new innovative product that is designed specifically to treat sufferers of peripheral arterial disease. Artery Aid was inspired by personnel experience within the group. Kate‚ one off the members of Artery Aid‚ has witnessed the effects of peripheral artery disease first as her own mother suffered from the disease. This is what first inspired our product. The two main methods of treating peripheral artery disease are exercise and heat. Exercise works by working

Eurotunnel History Early projects 1802 In 1802‚ French mining engineer Albert Mathieu-Favier put forward the first ever design for a cross-Channel fixed link based on the principle of a bored two-level tunnel: the top one‚ paved and lit by oil lamps‚ to be used by horse-drawn stagecoaches ; the bottom one would be used for groundwater flows. 1803 In 1803‚ the Englishman Henry Mottray unveils another project for a cross-Channel fixed link: a submerged tunnel made of prefabricated iron sections

Executive Summary This report will discuss the infrastructure management of the Storm Water Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) of Kuala Lumpur‚ Malaysia. This tunnel was built mainly to cater to the reoccurring flash floods that happened in the area‚ and to act as an alternate traffic route. It began construction in 2003 and was operational early 2007. A structure of such magnitude required in-depth designing and precise construction methods to ensure that the structure would
