Your heart is the hardest working muscle you have.Its job is to keep blood circulating in and out of your lungs and through all the other organs and tissues in your body.Like any muscle, your heart needs plenty of oxygen-rich blood to stay healthy and keep functioning. The blood vessels that surround your heart are called Coronary arteries. When fatty deposits called plaque develop in the lining of these arteries , several things can happen:
1.The lining of the artery becomes thicker and rougher.
2.Plaque build up makes it harder for blood to flow through the artery.
3.The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
4.The plaque may rupture, causing a blood clot completely block the artery; this stops the supply of blood to the heart muscle.
5.If one or more arteries become blocked, heart tissue doesn't get the blood supply it needs to function.The result can range from mild chest pain to severe heart attack.

I saw today they are opening a Jimmy Johns at 135th. With that and the new Jerusalem cafe there might not be much reason to come downtown anymore. Artery problems
