This is the fifteenth edition of Coronary Heart Disease Statistics produced by the British Heart Foundation.It is divided into 13 chapters. * The first two chapters on mortality and morbidity deal with demographic trends in CHD and related diseases of the circulatory system. * Following a section...
Coronary heart disease, disease characterized by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) because of narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery by fatty plaques (see atherosclerosis). If the oxygen depletion is extreme,
In some circumstances, the plaque can rupture or break open, leading to the formation of a blood clotin the coronary artery. This clot can completely occlude or block the artery. This prevents oxygen-rich blood from being delivered to the heart muscle beyond that blockage and that part of th...

This interactive tool estimates your risk of coronary heart disease and provides personalized tips for prevention. Anyone can use it, but it’s most accurate for people who have never had any type of heart disease. If you have heart disease, be sure to talk to your doctor about your risk....
Coronary heart disease(CHD) is a major type of CVD. As its name implies, CHD more specifically involves malfunctioning of the heart itself. Nevertheless, the causes of the malfunctioning can often be traced elsewhere. For example, over time, a substance known asplaquecan build up within the ...

Despite multiple COVID-19 pandemic deaths, cardiovascular diseases remained the leading cause of mortality in Poland [4]. CAD is caused by the narrowing or occlusion of the epicardial arteries in the heart by atherosclerotic lesions, which leads to coronary flow impairment. The management of a ...
