Although blocked blood vessels can cause both coronary heart disease and some types of stroke, stroke is not the same as heart disease... Heart health - managing heart disease for life Over 700,000 Australians are living with coronary heart disease.
Peripheral Artery Disease. Like the blood vessels of the heart (coronary arteries), your peripheral arteries (blood vessels outside your heart) also may develop atherosclerosis, the build-up of fat and cholesterol deposits, called plaque, on the inside walls. Over time, the build-up narrows the artery.Eventually the narrowed artery causes less blood to flow and a condition called  ischemia  can occur. Ischemia is inadequate blood flow to the body's tissue. 1  A blockage in the coronary arteries can cause symptoms of chest pain (angina) or a heart attack.2  A blockage in the carotid arteries (the arteries supplying the brain) can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.ascular disease includes any condition that affects the circulatory system. As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.
