what is atherosclerotic heart disease?

Answer 1

Atherosclerotic heart disease is when the arteries on the outside of heart supplying blood to heart muscle become hardened and inflexible and occluded with plaque reducing blood flow to heart muscle, eventually causing heart failure and death.

Answer 3

Atherosclerotic plaque; (extracts from; Mangosteen & cardiovascular disease).

By way of explanation, the atherosclerotic plaques examined have a type of bacteria commonly found in the mouth and throat. In other words, bacteria had seeded out in the plaque from the bloodstream and had started an infection. Bacterial infection ANYWHERE IN THE BODY causes inflammation when the cells attacked by the bacteria release a chemical messenger called arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is acted upon by cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes to produce prostaglandins, powerful hormone-like substances that can trigger the inflammatory cascade.

PGE2, or prostaglandin E2, is the culprit that, among other illeffects, causes the clotting of blood. This PGE2likely facillitated the formation of the clots in the coronary (heart) arteries, which led to the heart attacksEat meat and you are consuming arachidonic acid -- all the better to build the substances with which to stoke the fires of inflammation, my dear. Daily meat is great for wolves but not for humans. Inflammation causes blood clotting. Blood clots in the coronary arteries cause heart attacks; in the cartoid arteries they cause strokes.

Now to the Mangosteen and where it would intervene in the deadly processes that lead to cardiovascular disease. In Laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies, the mangosteen xanthones have demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects, more potent than the medicines indomethacin, dexamethasone, and aspirin. Dampen inflammation and you clearly decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes. By the way, you also decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease. All of this has been repeatedly proven.

Facts;
Inflammation causes blood clotting.

Blood clots in the coronary arteries cause heart attacks.

Blood clots in the cartoid arteries cause strokes.

Proper diet + exercise + supplementation (mangosteen) = optimal health.

Answer 4

Atherosclerosis is a common disorder characterized by yellowish plaques of cholesterol, other lipids and cellular debris in the inner layers of the walls of the arteries. It's also called heart disease, coronary heart disease and atherosclerotic heart disease. Vessel walls eventually become thick, fibrotic and calicified as well as narrowed. This reduces blood supply to organs that are normally supplied by the artery or arteries affected. The plaque eventually creates a risk for thrombosis and is one of the major causes of coronary heart disease, angina, myocardial infarction and other heart disorders.

Answer 5

It means there is calcium or plaque in the coronary arteries. These arteries provide the heart itself with oxygen. I think there is a type of "hard" and "soft" plaque. The hard plaque can be scored by a so-called "calcium scoring". I believe this is called the Agaston score. It is some score that tries to determine what the chance is of a coronary event (heart attack) in the coming 5 years. It may be caluculated with a CT or EBT scanner.

Often however a bicycle test is given.

Answer 6

Atherosclerosis is when the blood vessels lose elasticity and become clogged with plaque. When the blood vessels are clogged the heart muscle does not get enough blood to do its work. Also, plaques or clots can break off and totally obstruct a blood vessel resulting in a heart attack or stroke.

Answer 7

Simply put... It is the build up of plaque on the lining the vessels that supply the heart, which over time narrows the flow causing chest pain and eventually heart attack.
