Message from the CMO
We don’t often think about our blood vessels but they are critically important for the functioning of all our organs including our heart and brain. Without adequate blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and get rid of waste, the tissue of these vital organs can get damaged and die. When this happens in the heart, it’s known as a heart attack. When this happens in the brain, it’s known as a stroke.
While there are several different mechanisms by which the blood supply to organs can be compromised, the most common is related to a condition called atherosclerosis where there’s a buildup of plaque in the blood vessels. This buildup develops over years and is caused by a combination of genetics in lifestyle factors.
