- Heart disease accounted for 25% of deaths in the U.S. The vast majority of these deaths are caused by atherosclerosis, a degenerative disease of arteries. Over the course of many years, lipid (fat)-rich deposits develop in arterial lining. These thickening of arterial lining may induce sudden development of a thrombus that completely blocks the vessel and obstructs the flow of blood to heart muscle, which subsequently cause heart muscle to die; this condition is called “heart attack” or myocardial infarct. Discuss: 1. the anatomy of the coronary arteries and explain the risk factors for coronary heart disease. 2.
