Our heart pumps oxygenated blood to different parts of our body and it does this with the help of a network of arteries. Oxygenated blood helps to provide nutrition to the cells and tissues and plays a vital role in their growth and development. As per the top heart specialists in Kolkata, the normal functioning of the arteries is as important as the normal function of the heart. Just imagine, what will happen if the oxygenated blood does not reach some part of your body. The cells and tissues in that part will start to die and it will eventually become dysfunctional. This can happen if there is a blockage or obstruction in your arteries. Blocked or clogged arteries are usually a result of plaque buildup. Commonly referred to as arterial plaque, the condition is marked by the buildup of a waxy deposit of calcium, healthy fats, and cholesterol on the inner walls of the arteries, which tends to harden with time and obstruct the artery. The condition is commonly referred to as atherosclerosis.
One of the most important things that you need to note is that it is not just some people, but all of us have plaque deposits in our arteries. We all know that the blood contains oxygen and nutrients which are carried to different areas of the body, however, along with these useful and essential components, the blood also contains healthy substances like calcium, fats, cholesterol, clots, fibrin, and cellular wastes. These are the major components of plaque and these tend to stick to the arterial walls at a significantly slower rate. However, a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits can drastically boost the speed of plaque accumulation. Arterial plaque can be detected with the help of coronary angiography, which is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique. Coronary angiography in Kolkata is offered at all the leading hospitals.
There are a number of different factors that can increase the risk of arterial plaque. We have mentioned the most important of these with the help of experts from the best heart hospital in Kolkata.
