Coronary arteries and favorite locations and oddities and things
Po...@nospam.invalid
Atherosclerosis than others? I keep hearing about the RCA, LCA, LAD,
and Circumflex. But I seldom hear of arteries in the rear of the
heart. Do they not develop disease as often back there?
Incidentally, I just learned that the Circumflex system services the
right rear of the heart in 15% of people but, most commonly (85%) the
Right Coronary Artery branches off back there. I find that
interesting. Anybody here know why some of us are different? Do the
Circumflex dominant peeps have anything else in common with each
other? <shug> just curious (I have no idea which category I belong
to).

Locations where there is more turbulent blood flow.

The RCA and Circumflex (by way of marginals) typically supply the back
of the heart.

They tend to be left-handed ( just kidding :-)
May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water so that we
can love our neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ a lot more
dear neighbor whom I love unconditionally.

So I guess I'm wrong about Atherosclerosis being more prevalent in the
front... assuming the heart's backside arteries are just as turbulent
as the front.

....aha... I suspected something like that. I was thinking they may
be more liberal minded or tilt left when they walk.
Seriously though, I found it to be a bit remarkable. As if 15% of the
population had six fingers on the left hand. Or both ears on one side
of the head. I was thinking genetics (family) might play a part or it
might be limited more to race or gender. Apparently, one system works
as well as the other though, huh?

Atherosclerosis is more likely to happen to a greater degree at the
ostia (openings) and at branch points.

It is wiser to ask for and receive GOD's blessing obviating the need to
ever find out whether one has a dominant left circumflex :-)
May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water so that we

dear neighbor Port whom I love unconditionally.

Andrew Chung:
Is a frequent and proven liar (evidence archived forever on Google)
Has lost numerous NNTP accounts with supernews and others, has had many
Google accounts nuked, and his vanity domain heartmdphd.com is now
banned from setting up accounts. He is instead using multiple Google
sock accounts and email addresses in the format l...@thetruth.com (#
being a number)
Is unemployed after being sacked with cause from his one and only job
after just over 80 days
Fled the state of Florida, and now claims to practice in Georgia
despite
having no admission priveliges in the State's hospitals
Runs a phony foundation with a total declared income of circa $200, the
ownership and contact details of which are obfuscated on its website
Makes failed prophecies concerning earthquakes with areas and dates,
which don't happen (remember the bible quotes about false prophets)
Performed a public attempt at 'exorcising' a Malaysian sock on usenet,
then denied doing it. He has recently reversed position again and
admits
to practicing exorcism by usenet, proving himself a liar in the
process.
Promotes a dangerous diet, with a million dollar guarantee that he
demands thirty dollars to access details of. This despite being
unemployed. His soliciting and spamming for donations looks to be
similar to the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud, where victims pay money
upfront in the hope of coming into money but find they have merely
bought into a lie. Part of his advice is to pour nail polish remover
onto food.
Declares he has a cardiology practice despite posting night and day
from
the same IP address (his home presumably) or a coffee shop internet
cafe
Makes further false prophecies that we should now be all dying in a
bird
flu pandemic. When these fail to happen, he does them all over again
and
changes the dates. Nuclear war is another Chung spciality, which
naturally doesn't happen when he says it is going to.
Worships evil hatemonger Fred Phelps and will not denounce the acts of
Westboro's congregation. He even accuses someone with the name Phelps
of
being Fred's son and refuses to accept he is completely wrong.
Uses the same patter as Pat Robertson, indicating his religious
activity
is confined to watching cable TV. No evidence Chung has ever attended a
church.
Has a tendency to cyberstalk, particularly women. His wife fled some
time ago to another state, an act which Chung tries to pass of as
"being
on vacation".
Frequently passes himself off as being qualified in areas such as
endocrinology, despite making incredibly funddamental blunders in his
'advice'. It is no wonder the Florida heart facility terminated him,
and
has publicly denounced his version of events. Again archived on Google.
Don't forget the fake fast, where he didn't lose any weight, as well as
the infamous 666 stamping fiasco.

The current model is that damage to the endothelium allows infiltration
of LDL or some variant form of it (Lp(a) for example). LDL gets
oxidized and this triggers it to be ingested by phagocytes and they in
turn send out inflamatory signals, attract other cells, platelets etc
and provoke plaque to build up. The "foam cells" ultimately die because
they cannot really process the LDL efficiently. The process is repeated
as plaque builds up.
So the primary insult is something that can damage the endothelium.
This could be at places of turbulent blood flow as Andy suggested,
damage to the endothelium due to high blood pressure, high blood glucose
(loosens the glue between cells), smoking, infections etc. You will
recognize that many of these are known risk factors for heart disease
and that is why to a certain extent heart disease is controlled by
changing your lifestyle. Protecting the integrity of the endothelium of
your artery is of primary importance (hopefully initiated when very
young) but still better late than never.

Wouldn't running a catheter up & down within coronary arteries cause
as much damage as turbulent blood flow?
Each of my caths has shown disease spread to new locations and one of
my suspicions has been that the cath procedure itself is making
matters worse. My docs don't seem the least concerned about that
though. And neither have they offered a satisfactory explanation.

A catheter running up and down within a coronary artery would be
inadvertant.
Using a King multipurpose catheter does make this much less likely to
happen especially for the more vital left main coronary artery.

Atherosclerosis is an active and ongoing inflammatory process in folks
that continue to have risk factors for disease progression.
May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water so that we
can love our neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ a lot more,
dear neighbor Port whom I love unconditionally.
