Condition #4: Coronary Heart Disease
The whole body needs to be fed with a constant supply of fresh blood because this blood contains the oxygen and other nutrients that our cells need. The heart is no exception and it too must receive a constant supply of the red fluid.
Coronary heart disease is a condition in which the patient’s coronary heart arteries become blocked or narrower than usual. This means that less blood is able to flow to the heart, and this can obviously lead to problems. Patients with the condition are likely to experience angina, while their risk of having a heart attack is also considerably increased.
