Coronary heart disease is narrowing / blockage (arteriosclerosis) coronary arteries caused by buildup of fatty substances (cholesterol, triglycerides) are more and more and accumulate at the bottom of the innermost layer (endothelium) of the artery wall.
By blockage of coronary arteries, then this will reduces the flow of blood to supply oxygen to the heart muscles, and affect the heart as the blood pumping. And when the heart muscle blood supply shortage then the heart will become weak and unable to provide blood to all parts of the body.
Anyone who can get this disease?
Anyone can have the high cholesterol levels, young or old, fat or thin. Once the disease is attacking the people who lived 50 years, but now can be suffered by a person under the age of 40 years. This could occur because of lifestyle changes.
People with high cholesterol levels, especially LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol is a major target for cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease. The evidence suggests that 80% of patients died suddenly of heart disease with coronary heart disease, and even 50% of them without symptoms.
The disease is caused by excessive levels of LDL cholesterol which forms atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries and cause heart muscle does not receive blood flow.
