Heart Disease
Heart disease or coronary artery disease is the number one cause of deaths
in the United States. Officially it is the buildup of plaque in blood vessels
that nourish the heart. Over a lifetime these blood vessels can become clogged
with materials which make it impossible for the heart to receive the oxygen
it needs to continue beating. A heart attack is when these blood vessels become
completely occluded, causing heart muscle to die.
