CHD What is it?
Coronary heart disease occurs when
the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen.
Blood is supplied to the heart muscle
through the coronary arteries. If these
arteries are blocked the heart will
become short of oxygen.
ATHEROMA is a fatty substance which
builds up on the inside of the arteries
over many years. It is this layer of
atheroma which causes the narrowing and
blocking of the coronary arteries.
ANGINA, a heavy chest pain, is caused
by partly blocked arteries. It is often
brought on by exercise or emotion.
