As we all know that heart requires proper oxygen in order to function properly. Heart has three arteries which supply proper blood supply in order to make the heart function properly.
We can classify them in three parts
First divide heart in two parts viz left and right.
The left main coronary artery divides into two branches namely
LAD -Left Anterior Descending
LCx-Left Circumflex Artery.
These supply blood to the back of the heart,left side and the front part.
The RCA-Right Coronary Artery supplies blood to the bottom and right side of the heart.
Now lets discuss the major causes of Heart attack and Coronary arteries disease.This mainly occurs due to high blood pressure,smoking,diabetes,obesity,hyperlipidemia,s tressful life,lack of exercise and above all family history of heart disease.
The plague starts depositing in the inner walls of the coronary arteries,hence leading to blockage-(partially or fully) of the arteries.The blood flow gets disturbed.This leads to chest pain. If this left untreated,it can be fatal,a heart attack may result.
