“Current” Situation A case study of global warming effect on the climate of Western Europe. Massive amounts of water move in the ocean currents‚ transporting warmth‚ nutrients and animal life through thousands of miles. Some of the currents warm entire continents‚ bringing life to regions that would otherwise be locked in constant arctic cold. Others carry food for wildlife‚ contributing to rich and productive ecology. To understand the enormous power of these currents‚ consider that in

coronary heart disease. Heart desease is a condition that affect the structure and functions of the heart and has many root causes. There are many types of heart diseases. Including: 1. Heart Failure Heart failure is a condition where the heart can not supply the bloodstream to fulfill the needs of the body and potentially deadly. This type of heart disease have some symptoms including: swelling in the feet and hands‚ the addition or subtraction of weight before swelling due to fluid excessive‚ short

Coronary heart disease is a common term for the buildup of plaque in the heart’s arteries that could lead to heart attack. But what about coronary artery disease? Is there a difference? The short answer is often no — health professionals frequently use the terms interchangeably. However‚ coronary heart disease ‚ or CHD‚ is actually a result of coronary artery disease‚ or CAD‚ said Edward Fisher‚ M.D.‚ Ph.D.‚ an American Heart Association volunteer who is the Leon H. Charney Professor of Cardiovascular
Premium Heart Artery Atherosclerosis
Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart disease‚ also called coronary artery disease or ischemic heart disease‚ it characterized by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) because of narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery by fatty plaques. If the oxygen depletion is extreme‚ the effect may be a myocardial infarction (heart attack); if the deprivation is insufficient to cause infarction (death of a section of heart muscle)‚ the effect may be angina pectoris

systemic circulation is as the blood leaves both ventricles‚ it enters the aorta and goes into the body. It travels through many parts of the body before it reaches the heart. The coronary circulatory routes is in the heart. It starts off at the superior venacava. After it reaches the venacava‚ in then travels into other parts of the heart before it is finally absorbed and the whole process starts over again. The difference between the coronary circulatory routes and the systemic route. Coronary circulatory
Premium Blood Heart Artery
Coronary Heart Disease also known as Coronary Artery Disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen rich blood to the heart muscles. There are many health/risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. Among the many sections of the Affordable Care Act is a section entitled Health Care Workforce. But‚ a shorter name that is used for this section it Title V. Title V provides improved access to and

Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease Definition “Coronary artery disease is a type of blood vessel disorder that is included in the general category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is derived from two Greek words: athero‚ meaning “fatty mush” and skleros‚ meaning “hard.” Atherosclerosis is often referred to as “hardening of the arteries.” Although this condition can occur in any artery in the body‚ the atheromas (fatty deposits) have a preference for coronary arteries”(Lewis &

2014 Coronary Heart Disease and Vitamin E This article investigates the question of the usefulness of Vitamin E in the treatment and / or the prevention of heart disease. Beginning with the basics‚ heart disease is one of the most common causes of chronic illness and death in the adult population in the United States. The primary cause of heart disease is coronary artery atherosclerosis‚ which is the build- up of plaque in the artery walls. This plaque is the result of the oxidation of LDL

Which is an example of double circulation. The necessary adaptation of the 4 chambered heart was to support endothermy. Endothermic animals needed more energy‚ so the heart needed to deliver oxygen faster. The artery is the stout‚ walled tube that helps form the circulation system. Blood is transferred through these tubes from the heat‚ to all of the body. The vein is also a part of the circulation system. The vein is what brings the oxygen depleted blood back to

Coronary Heart Disease Overview The most common form of heart disease is Coronary disease (CHD)‚ and so this is the disease I will investigate. CHD refers to the build up of plaque in the arteries supplying oxygenated blood to the heart‚ also known as Atherosclerosis. The plaque is made up of cholesterol‚ fat and other substances found in the blood. When this build up of plaque occurs‚ the artery narrows‚ as shown in Figure. This will restrict blood flow to the heart‚ and so the heart will
