Angina is caused by poor blood flow to a region of the heart. It is most often due to coronary disease. Sometimes, other types of heart disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause angina.

In CAD, the coronary arteries, which carry oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, are narrowed due to accumulation of fatty deposits called plaque. This is known as artherscholorisis. Some plaque is hard and stable, leading to blockage of the arteries and hardened. Other plaque is soft and likely to rupture and cause blood clots.

The buildup of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries can cause angina in two ways. First, by narrowing of the artery that is significantly reduced blood flow … Secondly, the formation of blood clots that partially or completely blocked arteries.
Stable angina is often caused by physical effort. This leads to pain and discomfort from stable angina. Very narrowed arteries may allow enough blood to reach the heart, when oxygen demand is low, as in the setting. With exercise, like walking on a hill or climbing stairs, the heart works harder and needs more oxygen.

Unstable angina is caused by blood clots that partially or totally block an artery. If the plaque in an artery ruptures or breaks, blood clots can form. This creates a larger blockage. The clot may grow large enough to completely block the artery and cause a heart attack. Blood clots can form, dissolve in part, and the way forward again. Chest pain can occur each time a clot blocks an artery.

Angina is caused by a spasm of a coronary artery. The spasm causes the artery walls tremble. This narrows the arteries, causing blood flow to the heart to slow or stop. Angina may occur in people with and without CAD.

It is always pleasing to the eye the skin of a baby without defects. No lines, no sign that a button has been there and, indeed, is perfect. You chose this path, but as you get older, you cannot fail to have a wrinkle in time until you know where your baby’s skin is gone.

To know the causes of wrinkles, you must first know the layers of normal skin. Here are the layers that constitute a human skin.

1. Epidermis

this is the outer layer of the skin. This protects the inner layers of the environment, regardless of probable cause. The outer skin is apparently difficult caused by the movement of keratinocytes, the cells of the epidermis, from bottom to top. Consequently, a high dose of keratin that occurs. But when these cells reach the top, really broke. So if you see scaly skin types, means that something was wrong in this process.

2. Dermis

this is the second layer of skin. It contains elements of its structure, which is the connective tissue. There are many types of tissue. Each type serves different functions. Examples include collagen. This gives strength to the skin. Glycosaminoglycans are the proteins that give skin torpor. The elastic fibers to create the elasticity of your skin.

Between the dermis and epidermis is the derma-epidermal junction. This is an important feature because it locks the fingers and the projections that are called epidermal ridges. These increase the area of skin that is exposed to the blood vessels and nutrients. The blood vessels in the dermis provide nutrients to the epidermis through the epidermal ridges.

3. Subcutaneous

This bottom layer of the skin. And the subcutaneous tissue containing fat cells. You know what cells are? They provide insulation to your body and also make your skin full and plump.

How to form and develop wrinkles with age? Over time, the cells of the epidermis become thin. Therefore, it will also be thinner. The cells of the epidermis are also less sticky. This means there is more chance that moisture from your skin to be released only remains, which causes dryness. The decrease in epidermal cells is actually a 10 percent per decade. And as people age, they divide more slowly. For this reason, the skin cannot cope with speed, because it serves to repair itself.

In the dermis layer, less collagen is produced. The elastic fibers also performed. These factors lead to sagging skin and wrinkles. The epidermal ridges, meanwhile, are flattened. This will make skin fragile. And if the skin the nutrients it needs not be met accordingly.

As for the subcutaneous layer, fat cells lose weight with age. This will result in more wrinkles and sagging.

It is a complex process that everyone will pass with age. You can use the moisturizer while they are young and take good care of your skin to delay the process. But he admits that there comes a point where they will face not only a wrinkle in time, but other changes in their functions as well.

Fine. The important thing is that aging gracefully, so that people perceive you as the inner and outer beauty.
