What is Atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis causes plaque (cholestrol build-up) to grow inside the arteries. As plaque grows, the oxygen-rich blood flow to the organs and other parts of the body is restricted. Symptoms include chest pain, muscle weakness, pain in leg, arm or neck, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, severe headaches, and in severe cases loss of consciousness.

However, while both tests measure the heart’s electrical activity, or ‘waves’ that travel over the heart muscles to help them contract; commonly (known as ‘heartbeat’),...

Unblocking Peripheral Blockades: Treating and Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis
Among vascular (vein and nerve-related) diseases, Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT is one of the most fatal, yet common conditions; mainly due to Pulmonary Embolisms i.e. DVT blood clots that travel from the leg to the heart to threateningly obstruct lung pathways. However, the condition is just as easy to...
