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.
One common type of heart disease is an abnormal heartbeat. It may be caused by a genetic condition or other medical issue. When a heart arrhythmia develops, the heart may start too beat too fast or slow. It may also skip beats occasionally.
