Answer:

Explanation:

Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart , called coronary arteries, Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits. Plaque buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time. This process is called atherosclerosis. To fight back, the body sends white blood cells to trap the cholesterol, which then turn into foamy cells that ooze more fat and cause more inflammation. That triggers muscle cells in the artery wall to multiply and form a cap over the area.

What is responsible for the lub & dub sound that you hear when using a stethoscope?.
Aleks [24]

A continual "lub-dub, lub-dub" is a common way to characterize the sounds. The mitral valve and tricuspid valve closing is the source of the first "lub-dub." Following the first "lub-dub," the second "lub-dub" is made by the aortic and pulmonary valves shutting.

A blood backflow brought on by the heart's mitral valve failing to seal securely. When the mitral valve of the heart fails not close completely, blood can flow backward inside the heart, a condition known as mitral valve regurgitation. Breathing difficulties, weariness, dizziness, and an erratic, fluttering heartbeat are all symptoms. Treatment might not be  necessary for everyone. Between the heart's two right chambers is where the tricuspid valve is located. There are three little flaps of tissue that make up the tricuspid valve (called cusps, or leaflets). These valve flaps open to let blood to flow from the right atrium, which is the upper chamber, to the right chamber, which is the lower chamber (right ventricle).
