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.
Symptoms of heart disease in your blood vessels (atherosclerotic disease). Cardiovascular disease is caused by narrowed, blocked or stiffened blood vessels that prevent your heart, brain or other parts of your body from receiving enough blood. Cardiovascular disease symptoms may be different for men and women.
