From the Paper
"Two of the most common and prevalent cases of coronary heart diseases are coronary artery disease or angina pectoris and heart attacks. In angina pectoris, the hardening and the blocking of arteries happens because of fatty deposits within the walls of the arteries (Weston 1993 170). The organs and parts of the circulatory system concerned with this disease are the arteries and the heart. Coronary heart disease is characterized by the occurrence of angina pectoris, wherein the heart is not able to get sufficient oxygen supply from the blood."

"EFFECTIVENESS OF CORONARY BYPASS SURGERY
Introduction
Cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately one million death annually in the United States [8:73]. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one medical procedure used in an effort to reduce the level of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease [9:24]. Both the incidence and severity of cardiovascular disease increase with age, and similarly the frequency of CABG increases with age, with approximately 400,000 CABGs being performed annually in the United States [3:195].
Background
CABG creates an alternate route for the flow of blood through the heart through the removal of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and the grafting of that blood vessel at .."

Abstract
This paper explains that coronary heart disease (CHD) was infrequent well into the twentieth century and the increase in coronary heart disease in following years, in western societies, cannot be attributed to factors such as hereditary or an increase in the population of older individuals. The author explains that the rapid increase in industrialization in the U.S. culture creates individual competitiveness, which places more stress on the individual since success or failure is the responsibility of the individual perceived to be his or her burden alone, which can result in anger and emotions such as frustration, tension and sadness that have a negative physiological effect on the body. The paper stresses that counseling including behavior modification, medication prescribed for anxiety and depression, involvement in support groups and social settings and various relaxation techniques can help reduce stress and thereby prevent CHD.
From the Paper
"In addition to its potential to raise blood pressure and contribute to hardened arteries, researchers believe that anger arouses the involuntary nervous system--the network that controls unconscious bodily functions like digestion, sweating, and heartbeat. Specifically, they think it prompts the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and catecholamines (cat-e-COL-uh-meenz). Over time, having too many stress hormones floating through the system can damage the heart muscle and the delicate linings of surrounding blood vessels as well as disrupt the heart's electrical rhythm. In addition, stress hormones trigger the biochemical process that causes blood platelets to become sticky and clump together--a process that has been implicated in the formation of artery-clogging plaque. This hostility, which continues over time, is considered a "chronic" form of stress."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The constricted blood supply to the heart means reduced oxygen supply to the heart muscles. When the blood supply is sufficiently restricted (but not completely blocked), chest pain known as angina pectoris , results; when the arteries are completely blocked due to plaque build-up or due to plaque-rupture resulting in a blood clot (called thrombus), a heart attack (also called myocardial infarction) occurs. After a heart attack, part of the heart muscles die due to lack of oxygen and the episode may prove fatal or the sufferer may survive an attack, depending on the severity of the infarction and/or the medical attention provided. Both these conditions, i.e., sufficient constriction of the coronary arteries resulting in angina or heart attack constitute Coronary Heart Disease."

Abstract
This paper examines how coronary heart disease is a killer and how it is predominantly affected by the chronic inflammatory reaction occurring in the subendothelium of the artery. It builds a picture of the cascade of events that occur to form a fatal atheroma in the coronary arteries, illustrated with experimental evidence obtained from experiments with transgenic mice.
From the Paper
"The blood supply to the heart is referred to as the coronary blood supply. This is provided by the left and right coronary arteries, which are subdivisions pf the coronary artery that joins the aorta just above the mitral valve. The right coronary artery supplies the right atrial and ventricular myocardium, whereas the left coronary artery splits into the left circumflex artery supplying the left atrial and ventricular myocardium, and the left anterior descending artery which supplies the left ventricular and right ventricular myocardium. Most notably there are no anatomises in the coronary circulation. Therefore, occlusion of any of the arteries will result in severely reduced perfusion to the area usually supplied by that artery. This leads to ischemia, and eventual cell death, fibrosis and loss of function. Therefore the coronary blood supply is particularly venerable to arterial disease that causes arterial occlusion."

Abstract
This paper begins by explaining that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in many countries and that one of the main risk factors associated with CHD is high cholesterol. The paper shows how cholesterol levels are determined and what can be done to lower the risk. Included in this paper is a behavioural modification plan and tips for a healthier lifestyle that is free of the risk factors associated with CHD.
From the Paper
"Cholesterol forms an important function in the body; it helps to produce hormones, vitamins and some bile acids. Located in the bloodstream, cholesterol is present in many parts of the body including the brain, skin, liver and muscle tissue. However cholesterol can be lethal; high amounts in the bloodstream can lead to a build up of cholesterol and plaques (fatty deposits) on arterial walls which then narrow arteries and may result in inadequate blood circulation to the heart muscle (coronary heart disease)."

Abstract
The paper explains how our society is increasingly at risk; the number of fatalities each year from coronary artery disease continues to rise in spite of efforts to educate the populace on methods to reduce risk factors. The paper lists the steps that must be taken to identify those individuals at risk and provide them with treatment options. The paper identifies angiography as providing the best method of coronary evaluation available, and lists the three types currently in use: magnetic resonance, catheter, and computed tomography. The paper analyzes the specific benefits and limitations of each type. Of the three, the paper finds that computed tomographic angiography (CTA) provides the greatest versatility and has the least associated risks and limitations, and also provides the greatest volume of information and detail. In conclusion, the paper anticipates that the CTA will likely become the diagnostic tool of choice and ultimately supplant catheter angiography.
From the Paper
"The super-sized, rapid paced, high stress society we inhabit contributes daily to the demise of our fellow citizens. The epidemic rise of obesity and diabetes compounds the risk of America's number one killer: heart disease. The number of Americans succumbing to heart disease will nearly double from 500,000 in 2002 to 930,000 in 2005. The cost to treat cardiovascular patients in 2005 will cap at just under $400 billion (Kazerooni, 2005). Emphasis on risk reduction should be made, but it falls short of real impact. Steps must be taken to diagnose patients at risk and provide treatment options appropriate to their level of disease."

Abstract
The following paper focuses on the controllable risk factors of stress, and details its relationship with coronary disease. It discusses what the main causes of heart disease are and examines how the stress factor can contribute to this disease.
From the Paper
"Coronary heart diseases are one of the most common of all the heart diseases yet discovered. The primary characteristics of a coronary heart disease are the narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart that are responsible for supplying blood to the heart. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), more than 500,000 people die every year from heart attacks caused by one or other coronary heart diseases. In studying heart diseases, particularly, there are certain risk factors that are responsible for developing heart diseases including coronary heart disease. These risk factors are broadly grouped in to two categories, one that are controllable, and the other uncontrollable."

Abstract
When a patient presents to emergency with severe chest pain the possibility that the pain is induced by an acute coronary event is very high. In fact acute coronary syndrome includes a wide variety of possible conditions which range from stable angina to myocardial infarction. The case study involves a patient who was in grave danger of a heart attack because of unstable angina which resulted in a degree of heart muscle damage. Contributing factors and subsequent modification of those factors are discussed. This paper also discusses how differential diagnosis is made and how preventive measures are determined and evaluated during the diagnostic procedure.

"Eating healthy is one of the most important, yet frequently overlooked aspects in life. Research indicates that four of the leading causes of death in the United States are linked to diet, namely cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Taken cumulatively, diet-related health conditions cost society about $250 billion annually in lost productivity and medical costs. In addition, studies have indicated that thirty to forty percent of deaths due to cancer may be prevented if individuals would choose a healthful diet and engage in physical activity. Despite these facts, many individuals either refuse to or are unable to engage in proper eating and exercise habits as recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture."
