Coronary Resistance

Coronary resistance

Coronary resistance is resistance to blood flow that occurs in the coronary artery and prevents normal blood flow to the heart. The coronary arteries are located near the heart and supply blood to its muscles, the muscles of the heart. Therefore, slow blood supply can lead to tissue ischemia, that is, a lack of oxygen due to local disruption of its blood supply. This is a serious health problem because the coronary circulation provides blood to the heart muscles, which must be maintained for stable cardiac function.

Development factors

* age-related changes in blood vessels, such as thickening of the walls or the formation of atherosclerotic plaques; * atherogenic process - cholesterol oxidation leads to an increase in the rate of aggregation; * vascular inflammation and development of infections; * stress and hyperglycemia. All these factors lead to damage to the walls of blood vessels and a decrease in their elasticity, which can lead to
