LDL-C is considered a potent inflammatory motivator so decreasing its level and increasing HDL-C level can contribute to lowering inflammatory mediators [29- Libby and Aikawa‚ 2002‚ 30- Linsel-Nitschke and Tall‚ 2005]. Several strategies have been adopted to lower elevated plasma cholesterol. For example‚ statins represent the cornerstone LDL-C lowering therapy to maintain vascular health and reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in patients at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases [31- Andrews

Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular Disease is composed of various types of problems due to atherosclerosis‚ which is build up of plaque. The plaque buildup can cause even more difficulties that can lead to heart attack and stroke. Cardiovascular disease can affect the nervous‚ urinary‚ muscular‚ and about every other system in the body due to lack of oxygen rich blood supply to the body. Heart attacks happen when blood flow to a certain part of the heart is blocked off by a blood clot

reduced or stopped. The reduction or stoppage happens when one or more of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle are blocked. This is usually caused by the buildup of plaque (deposits of fat-like substances)‚ a process called atherosclerosis. The plaque can eventually burst; tear or rupture‚ creating a "snag" where a blood clot forms and blocks the artery. This leads to a heart attack. If the blood supply is cut off for more than a few minutes‚ muscle cells suffer permanent injury

Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality around the world. These diseases can range from coronary artery disease‚ blood vessel diseases‚ to congenital heart defects. Many patients that are affected by these diseases are treated with pills that have hazardous side effects‚ surgeries that induce trauma to the patient’s body (stents for vascular intervention‚ or balloon angioplasty‚ etc) or heart transplants that are dependent on the patient’s immune system. The bodies of these patients under go

Coronary Artery Disease 10/31/2005 This paper will serve as a case study for the condition known as coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the coronary arteries become hardened and narrowed; this is due to the buildup of plaque on the inner lining of the arteries. Blood flow to the heart is reduced as plaque narrows the coronary arteries‚ thereby decreasing the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. This loss of oxygen in the blood can lead to ischemia and later‚ myocardial infarction

A heart attack is also known as a myocardial infarction. A heart attack is when a part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies because it is not receiving oxygen. A heart attack is the death of heart muscle and it is caused by a sudden block of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Causing injury to the heart muscle can cause chest main and pressure. If blood flow is not restored within 20 to 40 minutes permanent

Many people do not think about the long-term health implications of their lifestyle choices. Most of us seem to think “it won’t happen to me” when it comes to chronic diseases. Since we all know that we can safely eat a candy or even as many as thousands of candies or lay on the couch watching television day after day without seeing any immediate harmful effects‚ it can be difficult to imagine that we are slowly developing chronic diseases over time. This concept of developing diseases over time
