types of CHD

• Atheroma:


  The name for fatty deposit.

  • it forms within the wall of an artery

  
• Atherosclerosis:


  When atheroma builds up in the lining of your artery walls & narrows your arteries, blocking blood flow.
• Angina:


  A type of chest pain caused by not enough blood going to the muscles of the heart.
• Myocardial infection (heart attack):


  A reduced supply of oxygen to the muscle of the heart.

  • If the blockage is close to the junction of the coronary arteries & aorta.
  • Then the heart will stop beating because the blood supply is completely cut off.

  
• Thrombosis:


  • As the blood flow is restricted, blood pressure increases.
  • Causing damage to the lining (endothelium) of the artery.
  • platelets start to group & lay down a blood clot.
  • Now called a thrombus.

  
• Aneurysm:


  A balloon-like blood-filled structure swelled from artery walls, that has been weaken from the formation of a thrombus lead by atheroma.
