Understanding Angina & Heart Attacks
Coronary heart disease (CHD) can cause angina and heart attacks and is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in the world.
When the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with vital oxygen and nutrients, become narrowed with fat and cholesterol, a clot can form and block one of the arteries causing a heart attack.
This book is all about coronary heart disease and what we can do to prevent and treat it, with details of drugs, bypass surgery, and angioplasty.
