coronary heart disease

[veorx]

someone close to me was just diagnosed with this.. and i see that its the leading killer of people in the united states. its what this persons father died of a few years ago as well.

what does this mean ? anyone dealt with it before? i dont know anything about it


i guess what im looking for here is an estimate of how bad (relatively) this is and the POTENTIAL threat level (!!)

thanks

so after reading wikipedia it still doesnt tell me what this means in terms of real life effects, ie what are the percentage chance of heart attack or death.

It's a disease of the heart. It can like kill you and stuff.

I believe it's the failure of coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue but I could be wrong

np

it means his heart tissue is at risk of dying

i'm not surprised veor's friends and family are dropping like flies from heart attacks. maybe if you all weren't all obese southern pieces of shit you would live past 40.

If you ask for a side of ranch dressing to dip your bread in when you eat out you will probally die from this disease.
