WHEN THINGS GO Wrong!!!
Heart Attacks & Atherosclerosis, Oh My! When things go wrong in the human heart it can harm the entire body. Things that cause harm include smoking and not exercising regularly. Research also shows that high stress and high cholesterol are both bad for the cardiovascular system so taking breaks and eating right can help prevent heart disease.
Another serious issue the heart may have, atherosclerosis, is when cholesterol builds up in blood vessels, and when those clogged blood vessels are narrowed and become less elastic. When an artery that leads to the heart is clogged, it may lead to heart attacks.
A final and extremely serious issue the heart may have is a heart attack. Heart attacks are when heart muscle cells die and part of the heart is damaged. Without oxygen, the heart muscles die quickly and when enough cells die, the heart will stop, causing death.
