  Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG) Surge...
  Your doctor has recommended that you have coronary artery bypass surgery. But what does that actually mean? Your heart is located in the center of your chest. It is surrounded by your rib cage and protected by your breastbone. Your heart's job is to keep blood continually circulating throughout your body. The vessels that supply the body with oxygen-rich blood are called arteries. The vessels that return blood to the heart are called veins. Like any other muscle in the body, the heart depends on a steady supply of oxygen rich blood. The arteries that carry this blood supply to the heart muscle are called coronary arteries. Sometimes, these blood vessels can narrow or become blocked by deposits of fat, cholesterol and other substances collectively known as plaque. Over time, plaque deposits can narrow the vessels so much that normal blood flow is restricted. In some cases, the coronary artery becomes so narrow that the heart muscle itself is in danger. Coronary bypass surgery attempts to correct this serious problem. In order to restore normal blood flow, the surgeon removes a portion of a blood vessel from the patient's leg or chest, most probably the left internal mammary artery and the saphenous vein. Your doctor uses one or both of these vessels to bypass the old, diseased coronary artery and to build a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle. These transplanted vessels are called grafts and depending on your condition, your doctor may need to perform more than <b>...</b>

  Peripheral Artery Disease: More Tha...
  What is peripheral artery disease and what are its symptoms? Dr. Arshed Quyyumi explains. In peripheral artery disease the arteries in the legs narrow, limiting blood flow to one's muscles. It often goes unrecognized, causing no symptoms at all - or symptoms you may think are something else, such as muscle cramps. PAD is usually caused by atherosclerosis, the same disease process that causes heart attacks and strokes. It's important to recognize that even mild peripheral artery disease is an important signal that atherosclerosis might be affecting vital arteries elsewhere. About Dr. Arshed Quyyumi Dr. Arshed Quyyumi is a professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine, Emory University.
