nutrients and oxygen to all body parts, including itself.

The Heart and Coronary arteries

Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become

narrowed and hardened due to an excessive build of plaque

The Plaque consists of deposits of cholesterol, other lipids and

calcium.

When the plaque ruptures it causes a Thrombus formation

resulting in sudden, total or near total arterial occlusion.

Alternately the thrombus may break off from a ruptured plaque

and occlude a down stream vessel.
