There is an excellent report on BBC on coronary heart disease. It would be useful for public reference including schools. The explanation is simple and emphasises that the heart needs a blood supply of its own. Please click:
Coronary heart disease - BBC.com
There is a focus on the role of the heart being blocked by accumulations of fat inside the arteries. We need to understand that the fat is absorbed in the small intestine but does not travel with the other nutrients along the hepatic portal vein to the liver. The wonders of creation.
Emulsified fat enters the epithelial layer of the myriads of villi that line the gut wall. Fat then enters the lattice work of lymph capillaries known as lymphatics. These then join with the major uni-directional lymph vessels moving upwards to the heart.
Fat travels up the lymph vessels and empties into the vena cava, the large veins to the heart. For that reason, the accumulations of fat occur in the lymph vessels, vena cava, heart and coronary arteries.
Footnote: Destruction of the gut wall of the small intestine by HIV, removes the capacity of the body to absorb nutrients, salts and water. This includes fat absorbed through to the lymphatics.
The sufferer loses weight and declines in health to death if there is no ART. Fat is necessary as a nutrient to the body, all in moderation.
This new information makes the BBC report complete.
