heart disease mean any disease of heart which could be due to artery or muscle or pericardium where as coronary artery disease disordr specific to arteries. however now a day we use them interchangily

Heart disease is any disease that affects the heart, coronary artery disease specifically affect the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscles. many times they do go hand in hand, coronary artery disease will reduce blood flow to the heart muscles reducing there effectiveness casing more problems!

No. The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is increased. However, nothing in medicine is absolute. In specific cases, your doctor may recommend this combination, alternatively, he or she may change you to another NSAID. It is always best to get an answer specific to you from your doc

Yes you can. Depression has potential to cause heart disease. In a study, investigators looked at the onset of heart disease in depressed study participants between 1993 and 2005. Men with depression in 1992 were twice as likely to develop heart disease in the ensuing years, compared to men with no history of depression. "Based on our findings, we can say that after adjusting for other risk factors, depression remains a significant predictor of heart disease," says first author Jeffrey F. Scherrer, Ph.D., research assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090304182113.htm

Over a long period of time constant depression and stress can lead to physical conditions that leave a person susceptible to heart disease. They are an indirect cause that can lead an unhealthy lifestyle that will eventually have an effect on your overall health

The term 'prevalence' of Coronary heart disease usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Coronary heart disease at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Coronary heart disease refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Coronary heart disease diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.

How does HDL (High density lipoprotein) reduce the risk of atheroma formation,and Coronary Heart Disease

How does HDL (High density lipoprotein) reduce the risk of atheroma formation,and Coronary Heart Disease?
and what is the effect of low concentration of HDL inside the blood?
Biology - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
HDL carries cholesterol from the body tissues to the liver. Lower HDL levels result in more cholesterol in blood leading to increased risk of atheroma formation,and Coronary Heart Disease.
2 :
Coronary Heart Disease is primarily caused by inflammation and infection. HDL is a major carrier of antioxidant enzymes such as paraoxonase, which reduce inflammation. HDL is only weakly related to the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. HDL is one of the proteins that transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters in the blood. Low HDL does not cause heart disease, anymore than high LDL does. However, low HDL can be a marker for chronic inflammatory states that contribute to arterial wall damage
