Topical over the counter antibiotics should be applied as soon as possible after injury (after the injury has been cleansed and dried, of course). A gauze dressing is ideal, as it lets the wound breathe but keeps out infection-causing dirt.
Coronary heart disease - Causes. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits (atheroma) on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries). The build-up of atheroma makes the arteries narrower, restricting the flow of blood to the heart muscle. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Heart disease causes 1 in 3 womenâs deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and womenâs survival continues to widen. The symptoms of heart disease can be different in women vs. men, and are often misunderstood.
