Answer to Question 1

Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women eclipsing cancer. CHD is a progressive degenerative inflammatory disease that involves coronary atherosclerosis. The atherosclerosis process is believed to be the body's way of responding to injury of the interior walls of the affected arteries. The inner lining of the vascular wall, the intima, is composed of endothelial cells. These cells form a type of Teflon lining that prevents other cells from sticking to them. However, with sufficient irritation or injury, these endothelial cells become compromised.

Answer to Question 2

D
