Coronary calcium screening in asymptomatic patients as a guide to risk factor modification and stress myocardial perfusion imaging Background. Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between the extent of coronary artery calcification (CAC) andatherosclerotic plaque. As a resu... Kevin,W.,Moser...

A heart attack is a condition when the heart muscle begins to die because it is not getting enough blood flow. Heart attack is caused due toatherosclerosisbecause of the formation of plaque substances inside arteries. The symptoms of a heart attack may include chest pain, shortness of breath,...
or HBP, pushes too hard on your artery walls. This damages the inside and causes fat, or "plaque," to collect. That plaque makes your arteries more stiff and narrow, so they can't do their job as well.
(1) Given her high LDL’s, an artery scan was performed, which showed totally clear arteries—presumably because of the low TG/HDL Ratio, indicating that the LDL particles were the large, Type “A,” non-damaging type. (2) Formerly with NBC News, died in 2008, from a massive heart ...
CT angiography is a less invasive version of the traditional angiogram. The main difference between the two procedures is that while a standard angiogram involves a catheter being inserted into the artery and to the area being studied, a CT angiogram does not require the insertion of a catheter...
