CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Heart’s largest coronary vessels are smaller than standard pencils. This vessel will then form smaller branches to all parts of heart. In addition to brain blood vessels, coronary vessels are extremely sensitive to the blockage. If blocked, causes a heart attack followed by damage to the part of heart that supplied by that clogged vessel. This blockage may be caused by a thickening of the walls or lodged blood clot carried by the blood flow in the vessel that has narrowed.

The damage caused is largely determined by the size and position of the blocked blood vessels. The dead part of heart could reach 20%, which is about the size of marbles if mild heart attack, and 60-70% which is about half the size of a tennis ball if it’s severe heart attack. Many heart attack victims are still alive even though their heart capacity has been greatly reduced to 30%, or even 20% from the original capacity.

A heart attack may be felt by the patient, may also not. The attack may not be felt if the blocked is only small vessels and the heart that is broken only as small as a peanut. To get rid of dead cells due to a mild heart attack like thisthe body takes two weeks.

The heart does not have the ability to form new muscle cells, to replace cells that have died. So that the space formerly filled by cells that have died will be filled by other cell types. The new cells of other types will form a scar.

Perhaps you’ve felt very ill stab in the heart area when sitting. Do not Panic! The pain was not caused by a heart attack. This possibility is caused because you eat too much before. Because the pain caused by abnormalities of the heart will only happen when you’re working hard, while depressed or while experiencing inner emotional turmoil.
