Health and social care3Introduction:Coronary heart disease is a disease in which plaque (a waxy substance) builds up inside a human body in coronary arteries. These coronary arteries supply the oxygen blood to the heart muscles. The report explains about the CHD. This disease is one of the common diseases in the group of cardiovascular diseases. The report explains that how the disease impacts on a human body. What are the signs, symptoms and causes of the disease and how the disease could be diagnosed? Disease brief: Coronary heart disease is a result of coronary artery disease. It is a part of coronary artery disease group which includes various other diseases such as unstable angina, stable angina, sudden cardiac attack, myocardial infraction and sudden cardiac attack. In the group of cardiovascular diseases, CHD is one of the common diseases. It happens when plague builds up in the human body and lead to the heart attack. In the process, arteries get narrow, recues the blood flow of a human body to the heart. Sometimes, a clot could obstruct the blood flow in the body which leads to severe pain in chest (van Nunen et al, 2015). It is one of the most common diseases in UK. Human body structure in relation to disease:The disease occurs when coronary arteries (Blood vessels) carries the blood of a human body to thick the blood. At the time of progression of the disease in a human body, it makes the blood thick and these thickening seem like a greasy substance. Commonly, these greasy substances are known as plaque. Plaque builds up a wall of arteries inside the human body and due to that, the heart is blocked and blood flow stops. The blockage of the blood causes the angina or a heart attack or death. Human body structure gets largely impacted due to Coronary heart disease. It explains that it is tough for a person to evaluate that the body is suffering from Coronary heart disease (De Bruyne et al, 2014). It impacts the blood flow of a human body on a large scale and due to it, sudden death takes place. It also explains that the plaque is a serious issue in a human body and it must be diagnosed on right time.
