Coronary Artery Disease and Angina September 2001 WHAT IS CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE? The heart is the human body's hardest working organ. Throughout life it continuously pumps blood enriched with oxygen and vital nutrients through a network of arteries to all parts of the body's tissues. In order to perform the arduous task of pumping blood to the rest of the body, the heart muscle itself needs a plentiful supply of oxygen-rich blood, which is provided through a network of coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart's muscular walls (the myocardium ). If blood flow to the myocardium is interrupted, an injury known as an infarct occurs, or in other words, a myocardial infarction , more commonly known as a heart attack. The Process of Atherosclerosis Coronary artery disease is the end result of a complex process called atherosclerosis (commonly called "hardening of the arteries"). This causes blockage of arteries ( ischemia ) and prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart. There are many steps in the process leading to atherosclerosis and some are not fully understood. Increasingly, however, researchers are studying the interactions between cholesterol and processes known as

PTCA: Percutanerous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty - Procedure For The Treatm A discussion about percutanerous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent which is a procedure used to treat coronary artery disease.

Should you have any questions contact our office via e-mail or call Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty / Stent Introduction More premature deaths are caused by coronary artery disease than by any other disease process in North America. Coronary artery disease is the narrowing or obstruction of the vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. This narrowing is caused by fatty deposits (plaque) on the walls of the arteries. These fatty deposits gradually build up and can cause a marked reduction of blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is significantly reduced, some form of medical treatment becomes necessary. The picture on the right shows a diseased LAD artery. One of the most common non-surgical treatment for opening obstructed coronary arteries is Percutanueous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). The name itself says a lot about the procedure: P ercutaneous means access to the blood vessel is made through the skin T ransluminal means the procedure is performed within the blood vessel C oronary specifies that the coronary artery is being treated A ngioplasty means "to reshape" the blood vessel (with balloon inflation)Also referred to as "balloon treatment" because special balloons are used to open up obstructed arteries, illustrated on the left, this procedure sometimes also involves the use of devices known as "stents" to help keep the arteries open.

58. RCPG-Atherosclerosis (Coronary Artery Disease) An explanation of what coronary artery disease is. http://www.rcpg.com/artery.shtml

How the Heart Works Facts on Heart Disease Healthy Heart Lifestyle Atherosclerosis (Coronary Artery Disease) The most common form of heart disease is Atherosclerosis, also known as coronary heart disease or hardening of the arteries. It involves deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin (a clotting material in the blood) in the inner lining of an artery. The build-up that results, called plaque, may partially or totally block the blood's flow through the artery. This can lead to bleeding (hemorrhage) into the plaque or formation of a blood clot (thrombus) on the plaque's surface. If either of these occurs and blocks the entire artery, a heart attack or stroke (brain attack) may result. Atherosclerosis affects large and medium-sized arteries. The type of artery and where the plaque develops varies with each person. Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease that may start in childhood. In some people, this disease progresses rapidly in their third decadein others it doesn't become threatening until they're in their fifties or sixties. Exactly how Atherosclerosis begins or what causes it isn't known, but some theories have been proposed. Many scientists think Atherosclerosis begins because the innermost layer of the artery, called the endothelium, becomes damaged. Possible causes of damage to the arterial wall are elevated levels of cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood, high blood pressure and  cigarette smoke.
