calcium, and other fats accumulate in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. It is the most common type of heart disease. This material hardens forming a plaque that blocks blood flow to the heart. When a coronary artery narrows due to plaque buildup or some other cause...
High triglycerides contribute to what’s known as arteriosclerosis (or the hardening and thickening of the arteries and artery walls). Arteriosclerosis puts you at an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular disease. The most consistent finding in omega-3 research is thattaking hig...

Examples of interventions that will take place in the new interventional cardiology and interventional radiology suites include catheter-based cardiac and vascular procedures to open clogged peripheral or coronary arteries, place cardiac implantable electronic ...
Leg Arteries The signs and symptoms may arise as high up as the thigh, depending on the site of the atherosclerotic plaque, which is often compounded by a blood clot in the leg. In the early stages, the symptoms in the foot and distal half of the leg is usually present. Unlike other ...
