Disability Tax Benefits For Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease can be a crippling ailment and those suffering from it are at high risk and are entitled to claim disability tax benefits. Coronary artery disease affects the coronary arteries, as the name suggests. Coronary arteries are the arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium (heart muscle). Coronary artery disease, also known as atherosclerotic heart disease results from accrual of atheromatous plaques within the arterial walls of the coronary arteries. Atheromatous plaques are deposits that clog the arteries and are composed of macrophage cells, fatty deposits, fibrous connective tissue and other debris. This condition is found in most humans and can block the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium causing what we all know well as a heart attack and heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the world. We are talking 32 million heart attacks a year worldwide and 12.5 million of them are fatal! Most of these fatalities are preventable. What makes coronary artery disease especially lethal is, that it grows and gets progressively worse without detection and will fester for years and then suddenly one fine day, a heart attack will strike without warning and cause sudden death. Scary but true. This is the most common cause of death in the world, especially for people above twenty. Some common causes of coronary heart disease are lack of exercise due to sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet habits, smoking, drinking, stress, obesity and old age. Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease and understandably, a lot of research and effort goes into its control, cure and prevention. Prevention, more than anything get’s priority. Doctor’s recommend reducing cholesterol by eating healthy and adopting an active healthy lifestyle and avoid activities like smoking and drinking that will increase your probability of getting coronary artery disease. Choose a healthy lifestyle, make the right choice today and you won’t have to suffer the consequences. Do not take any chances with health. But sometimes, despite all precautions, age and family history can cause coronary heart disease.
