Blocked coronary artery. Computer artwork of a clot (red) in a coronary artery. The clot has been caused by atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (yellow) on the artery wall

Unhealthy heart, conceptual artwork. Heart in a wheelchair. This could represent a heart with impaired function

Coronary thrombosis, light micrograph
Coronary thrombosis. Light micrograph of a section through a thrombus (blood clot) in the coronary artery of the heart. The clot is packed full of red blood cells (red)

Heart ischaemia
Heart disease. Artwork showing a heart with ischaemia (oxygen shortage) due to a blocked artery. The cardiac tissue beneath the blockage (grey)

Heart disease caused by fatty foods
Heart disease caused by unhealthy food. Conceptual artwork of unhealthy foods being forced into blood vessels near the heart

Coronary artery disease. Computer artwork of red blood cells flowing through an increasingly (top to bottom) blocked coronary artery

Heart failure, chest X-ray
Heart failure, or cardiomyopathy, coloured chest X-ray. The heart (pale orange, lower right) is greatly enlarged (ventricular hypertrophy)

Chest pains. Computer artwork of a naked man with chest pains. His hands are over his heart, which is shown in red. He could be suffering a heart attack or angina

Enlarged heart, X-ray
Enlarged heart. Coloured X-ray showing a patient with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), or enlargement of the left ventricle (lower chamber)

Unhealthy heart, conceptual image. The main blood vessels of the heart include the vena cava (upper left), where blood arrives form the body
