allowing time for drug therapy, angioplasty or heart bypass surgery to be used to keep arteries open. In coronary artery disease, hardened bits of fat and dead tissue, called plaque, build up along the inside wall of the blood vessels, impeding the body’s natural blood flow and ...
Dr. C. Noel Bairey Merz, who heads up the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation, or WISE. "The arteries fail to dilate when they should and then they may also over-constrict when they need to do so mildly or to not constrict at all." ...
Before you find yourself being asked to choose one of these conventional medical approaches to addressing clogged arteries, I encourage you to be fully aware of the actual make-up of plaque that can occlude your arteries, the way in which such plaque develops, the different levels of risk that...
This innovative stent is a tiny heart device, a medicine-coated mesh tube that prop open clogged arteries after angioplasty. It releases a drug designed to help keep scar tissue from forming and re-clogging the arteries, addressing one of the most stubborn problems in coronary artery disease ...
Lima says the team's next steps are head-to-head comparison studies using either CT or nuclear stress testing, which gauges reduced blood flow in parts of the heart to reveal clogging arteries. Included in the next analysis will be scans performed using an even more advanced scanner, the 320...
