Things That Can Go Wrong with the Heart

You need to understand Coronary Artery Disease, also known as Atherosclerosis.  If you write this term and definition down and turn it in to me tomorrow, Tuesday Feb. 22nd, I'll give you extra credit for visitng my blog like I told you to do in class! :)  You'll need to visit some of these sites to find the definition!

http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/body_basics/heart.html -- Good review site for the heart.  Has a short video on the path that blood takes through the heart.

http://kidshealth.org/kid/grownup/conditions/heart_disease.html-- Heart Disease info.

http://www.healthline.com/channel/stable-angina_videos-- 3 cool videos in less than 3 minutes!  Angioplasty, Heart bypass, and Coronary Artery Disease!  Watch these!

http://www.orlive.com/montefiore/videos/heart-transplant-procedure?view=displayPageNLM-- Ok, this one is not for the faint-of-heart (ha,ha, no pun intended).  It is a LIVE heart transplant video...it does last one hour, so don't stay up all night watching this!  It is pretty cool though!!!
