Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease is a non-communicable disease. This means that it cannot be transmitted from one organism to another.
What happens when you have coronary heart disease?
What happens when you have coronary heart disease?
- The coronary arteries narrow because of a build-up of fatty deposits.
- This reduces blood flow and leads to a lack of oxygen being supplied to the heart muscle.
Analogy: a tunnel
Analogy: a tunnel
- Imagine people carrying wood to a fire through a tunnel.
- If the tunnel narrows, fewer people can fit through the tunnel.
- This means that the fire will start to die out as less wood can reach it.
