My strengths and weaknesses

My name is Angelic heart, and I fight CAD (coronary artery disease). I was born when an epidemic of CAD exploded on a large population, and I was born to destroy it, and keep people safe. My Strengths are the following: I dissolve the building up of lipids in the arteries with my sword. My Necklace makes people change their lifestyle once it touches them, and strengthens their immune system. I use my wings to fly into the heart and use my sharp claws to slash into the fatty deposits that are left in the arteries.

My weaknesses are: I am not the strongest superhero, I am also the youngest. In addition I have 12 annoying brothers and sisters that always tease me. My weakness is fatty foods.

Interesting fact. My best friend is Violet gleam, who fights a mosquito- borne illness.

What kind of infection is it? The coronary artery disease is a life

style infection, that includes bacteria in it as the cause.

How it began and where it began Location: Collage students in Alabama. Population: 80% of the teenagers were

affected by this disease.

Symptoms and Effect This disease effects the heart. It is a condition in which fatty deposits

called plaque build-up in the heart’s arteries. These deposits cause arteries to become narrow and blocked, which restricts blood and oxygen flow to the heart muscle.Symptoms:

Back or Jaw pain Nausea Angina(chest pain or felling pressure on chest) Shortness of breath( like after a long workout) Faster heartbeat and Dizziness Extreme sweating Some people don't have any symptoms. This is called "silent ischemia."

In rare cases, you can even have a "silent heart attack," a heart attack without symptoms.

This disease is not contagious. But the time it takes for the symptoms to occur is 5 minutes. If any of these symptoms do not stop in the next 5 minutes, you may be in danger of a heart attack and CAD.

Cure and Prevention There are some treatments for this disease that will help you cure CAD before

anything serious can happen like a heart atack. Treatments: Relieving symptoms. Reducing risk factors in an effort to slow, stop, or reverse the buildup of

plaque. Lowering the risk of blood clots forming. (Blood clots can cause a heart atack) Widening or bypassing clogged arteries. Preventing complications of CHD.

Also there is a few things you can do to prevent this disease from happening in your body. Preventions: Eat a healthy diet Exercise regularly Take medicine that was prescribed by your doctor. Do not smoke or do drugs
