Understand your circulatory system
The circulatory system is composed of cardiovascular system including arteries, veins, capillaries which distribute blood and lymphatic system which distribute lymph. It functions to pass nutrients like amino acids, electrolytes, gasses, hormones, blood cells, etc. to and from cells in the body to help fight diseases and help stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis.
The blood is oxygenated when tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, absorb oxygen from the lungs and in turn discharge carbon dioxide, which we then exhale. These blood vessels feed into the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood to all cells and give off oxygen plus other nutrients and in return receive waste products. Oxygen plus glucose is needed to make energy within every cell of the body; the waste products are carbon dioxide and water. The blood vessels that supply cells with nutrients and oxygen are called arteries, while the blood vessels that carry away waste products and carbon dioxide are called veins. Arterial blood is brighter red than venous blood because oxygen is carried on complex called haemoglobin, which contains iron. The pressure in the arteries is also greater than in the veins. As well as returning to the heart after it has visited the cells, all blood passes through the kidneys. Here, waste products are removed, and formed into urine that is stored in the bladder.
The human heart maintaining the blood circulation of cardiovascular system is a chambered, muscular organ that pumps blood from veins into the arteries by repeated, rhythmic contractions. It is about the size of a fist between 250 and 350 grams. It is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your sternum (breastbone). The heart plays a vital role of life maintenance and meanwhile cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
Atherosclerosis – disease of arteries and precursor of heart disease
Heart disease is wrongly named. The main life-threatening diseases are diseases of the arteries. ASVD known as atherosclerosis is a medical condition that the arteries become hard, narrow and thick due to the build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol. It is dangerous because it is a chronic disease which begins in early adolescence and usually remains asymptomatic. However, decades of fat deposition will form arterial plaque or atheroma which narrows the arteries, reduces the blood flow, increases blood pressure. Atherosclerosis, coupled with thicker than normal blood containing clots, can lead to a blockage in the arteries, which stops the flow of blood and leads to death of the tissue fed by the artery in approximately 5 minutes if this catastrophic event occurs in the arteries feeding the heart, the part of the heart fed by these blood vessels will die from lack of oxygen. That is the myocardial infarction (heart attack). If a blockage occurs in the brain, the affected brain cells will die and thus cause stroke. If a blockage cause in the legs, it can result in leg pain, which is a form of thrombosis. When peripheral arteries get blocked this can result in poor peripheral circulation, for example in the hands and feet.
Angina 
When you get atherosclerosis in the arteries of heart, there will be insufficient blood supply to the heart due to the narrowing or partial blockage of coronary arteries. Angina is a condition when the chest pain occurs under different moments like exertion, severe emotional stress, heavy meals or vigorous exercise during which the heart muscle demands more blood oxygen than partial blockage of coronary arteries can deliver. It often lasts from 1 to 15 minutes and is relieved by rest or by placing a nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue. Nitroglycerin can relax the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Both rest and nitroglycerin decreases the heart muscles demand for oxygen, thus reliving angina. Angina is only the sysmptom of atherosclerosis and the sign of heart attack.
