Coronary Artery Disease<\/h3>\n

Coronary artery disease is defined as the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque (atherosclerosis) within the walls of the coronary arteries\u2014vessels that supply the heart muscle (myocardium) with the oxygen-rich blood necessary for its continuous and proper function.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read More” css_animation=”left-to-right” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fathens-cardiology-clinic.gr%2Fen%2Fcoronary-artery-disease%2F|title:Coronary%20Artery%20Disease”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1524″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1515″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Valvular Heart Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The human heart consists of four separate chambers. The connection between these chambers, as well as with the body\u2019s major blood vessels, is regulated by the cardiac valves. Proper heart function requires the coordinated operation of all its structures.
Valvular heart disease refers to the dysfunction of one or more of the heart valves.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read More” css_animation=”right-to-left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fathens-cardiology-clinic.gr%2Fen%2Fvalvular-heart-disease%2F|title:Valvular%20Heart%20Disease”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Acute Myocardial Infarction<\/h3>\n

Acute myocardial infarction is a life-threatening emergency in which one of the arteries supplying blood to the heart becomes suddenly and either completely or partially blocked. This leads to interruption of blood flow to the affected area of the heart. The resulting consequence is temporary (reversible) and\/or permanent damage (myocardial necrosis) to the portion of the heart muscle supplied by that artery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read More” css_animation=”left-to-right” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fathens-cardiology-clinic.gr%2Fen%2Facute-myocardial-infarction%2F|title:Acute%20Myocardial%20Infarction”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1510″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1513″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Chronic Total Occlusion of the Coronary Arteries<\/h3>\n

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary arteries refers to the complete blockage of a coronary vessel (100% stenosis), accompanied by the total absence of antegrade blood flow through the artery (TIMI Flow 0), with a duration of more than three months.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read More” css_animation=”right-to-left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fathens-cardiology-clinic.gr%2Fen%2Fchronic-total-occlusion-of-the-coronary-arteries%2F|title:Chronic%20Total%20Occlusion%20of%20the%20Coronary%20Arteries”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”mobile”][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”][vc_single_image image=”1524″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
