What Causes Carotid Artery Disease? |
Carotid artery disease seems to start when damage occurs to the inner layers of the carotid arteries. The buildup of plaque or blood clots can severely narrow or block the carotid arteries, which limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your brain. |

Who is at Risk for Heart Valve Disease? |
Risk factors for heart valve disease include older age and a history of infective endocarditis, rheumatic fever, heart attack, or heart failure. You’re also at higher risk for heart valve disease if you have risk factors for coronary heart disease or were born with a certain aortic valve condition. |

¿Cuáles son las causas de la enfermedad coronaria? |
Las investigaciones indican que la enfermedad coronaria comienza cuando ciertos factores lesionan las capas internas de las arterias coronarias. La acumulación de placa o los coágulos de sangre pueden estrechar gravemente o bloquear las arterias coronarias, lo cual reduce el flujo de sangre rica en oxígeno que llega al corazón. |
