Answer to Question 1

In the advanced stages of atherosclerosis, heart muscle deprived of oxygen develops ischemia (too little blood flow), which can in turn lead to angina or myocardial tissue death. A myocardial infarction (MI), known also as a heart attack, may be the ultimate result. There are typically three forms of clinical symptoms presentation. These include angina pectoris (chest pain), an acute coronary syndrome (ACS; otherwise known as myocardial infarction), or sudden cardiac death (cardiac arrest that occurs very shortly after symptom onset that results in death).

Answer to Question 2

Prevention of CHD includes lifestyle changes such as not smoking, eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, lowering cholesterol, controlling obesity, preventing diabetes, managing stress, preventing high blood pressure, and using alcohol in moderation if at all.
