Following the analogy of the workplace athlete, it is a natural extension to bring the athletic trainer to the workplace to play the role of maintaining peak performance for all workplace athletes.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women. CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed. This is due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on their inner walls. This buildup is called atherosclerosis.
A cause of death is a disease, abnormality, injury or poisoning that contributes directly or indirectly to death. A death often results from the combined effects of two or more conditions. These conditions may be completely unrelated, arising independently of each other; or casually related to each other.
