Premium Heart Artery Blood vessel
Coronary Artery Disease 10/31/2005 This paper will serve as a case study for the condition known as coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the coronary arteries become hardened and narrowed; this is due to the buildup of plaque on the inner lining of the arteries. Blood flow to the heart is reduced as plaque narrows the coronary arteries‚ thereby decreasing the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. This loss of oxygen in the blood can lead to ischemia and later‚ myocardial infarction

Coronary arteries carry blood to the heart. CAD is caused by a thickening of these arteries‚ called atherosclerosis. Plaque‚ a substance containing cholesterol and other fatty substances‚ builds up inside the thickened walls of the arteries‚ which slows or blocks blood flow to the heart. In result‚ the heart cannot receive the
