Cardiovascular System And Disease Flashcards
Blood supply to the heart
Two coronary arteries branch off from main aorta to provide the heart with flow of oxygenatated blood encircle heart and cover network of blood vessels
Cardiovascular disease
A common effect of aging fatty deposits build up in vessel walls restricting flow of blood condition is called atherosclerosis it often leads to blockage of Conakry arteries triggering heart attack of myocardial infarction
Artherosclerosis
Will occur in almost any artery if Conakry arteries become blocked heart is deprived of oxygen fatty deposits ldls
Consequences of arthrosclerosis
Thrombosis blood clot arthromatous plaque breaks through endothelium into lumen rough surface blood sticks to it
Aneurysm artery wall weakened by artheoma blood vessels burst
My cardiac infarction heart attack
Signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease
