If you ever heard of the expression "I have hardening of the arteries" that person is referring to that fact he has arteriosclerosis {pronounced ahr-tir-ee-oh-skluh-roh'-sis}, because that is the meaning of this Greek word. Arteriosclerosis describes many diseases involving the cardiovascular system and its associated arteries and vessels which go along with it. Arteriosclerosis is not something that happens overnight. It takes many years for the arteries to become hard and brittle. In time the vessels become thickened and lose their elasticity. This happens because of a lack of calcium in the walls.

If you have a bout where you are having difficulty breathing, chances are you are suffering from asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. Basically, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed. When this occurs the airways become very sensitive. In turn they react strongly to everything that you are allergic to or find irritating. When the airways react, they get narrower and less air flows through to your lung tissues. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing.

Blood clotting is a natural process that allows the blood to thicken and form a clot of blood cells and fibrin strands to stop the bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. Eventually the clot will go on to help form a protective scab over a healing wound. If the body did not have the ability to clot blood, then people would bleed to death after even a minor cut.

High Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the measure of the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries – the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When the heart contracts to pump out blood, the peak of contraction is called systolic pressure. After pumping, the heart relaxes and pressure drops to its lowest point just before a new beat. That lowest point is called the diastolic pressure.
