Heart disease and poor diet, artwork
Heart disease and poor diet. Artwork of an obese man eating fatty and fried foods while having his blood pressure monitored

Post-mortem specimen of human heart
Post-mortem specimen of a human heart featuring an occluded (blocked) coronary artery; the blockage appears as the redder area at top centre

Angina, conceptual artwork
Angina, conceptual computer artwork. Heart being squeezed by a metal band, which could represent angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is a severe chest pain from a lack of blood supply to the heart

Unhealthy heart, conceptual artwork. Heart in a wheelchair. This could represent a heart with impaired function

Coronary artery disease. Computer artwork of red blood cells flowing through an increasingly (top to bottom) blocked coronary artery

Atheroma formation, diagram
Atheroma formation. Diagram showing the stages in the formation of an atheroma, a fatty plaque that forms on the inners walls of blood vessels in cardiovascular disease

Heart failure, artwork
Heart failure, computer artwork. The figure at centre (red) has an enlarged heart, a symptom of heart failure (reduced heart function)

Coronary Heart Disease: The Broken Heart that Demands Attention A broken heart takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to coronary heart disease. This silent killer affects millions worldwide, with arteries resembling the aftermath of a cholesterol and plaque invasion. Medical interventions like balloon insertions into atherosclerotic arteries have become commonplace in combating this insidious disease. Visualizing the arteries on a heart reveals the shocking presence of atherosclerotic plaques, highlighting the urgent need for preventive measures. Looking closer at an interior view of the heart exposes muscle cells struggling against an encroaching enemy - the dreaded atherosclerotic artery. It's clear that poor diet choices contribute significantly to this battle between health and disease. Even post-mortem specimens reveal how devastating they are be, leaving no doubt about its deadly consequences. Conceptual artwork depicting heart attacks and angina further emphasizes the urgency in addressing this condition head-on. Unhealthy hearts depicted through thought-provoking artwork serve as powerful reminders that we must prioritize our cardiovascular well-being. Coronary artery disease is not something to be taken lightly; it demands attention, awareness, and proactive lifestyle changes. Let us unite against coronary heart disease by spreading knowledge, promoting healthy habits, and encouraging regular check-ups. Together, we can mend these broken hearts and ensure healthier futures for ourselves and generations to come.
