The coronary arteries, the arteries that nourish the heart, are prone to becoming clogged with cholesterol–filled plaque. One common sign of this problem is chest pain that comes on with physical exertion or stress. This pain, known as angina, is an annoyance when mild, and can restrict activity and diminish quality of life when severe.
This multitouch book from Harvard Health Publications covers the medical background of angina, and includes original 3D renders and videos, interactive diagrams and other content, and text from the renowned team at Harvard Medical School.
