The disease is caused by a build-up of fatty deposits in blood vessels supplying the heart muscle with blood. If these are blocked completely the heart is starved of oxygen and stops.</p> <p><!-- This site/section combo is not set up to show MPU's -->Heart bypass surgery involves taking a length of artery from elsewhere in the body - usually the chest or leg - and using it to replace the furred-up heart artery.</p> <p><a href="http://www.iranlinked.com/en/article/heart_disease_hope_stem_cells">read more</a></p> http://www.iranlinked.com/en/article/heart_disease_hope_stem_cells#comments World Scientists Science &amp; Technology cells Heart disease Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:53:24 -0700 george 492 at http://www.iranlinked.com http://www.iranlinked.com/en/article/study_finds_risk_bowel_cancer_raised_genetic_mutation <!--paging_filter--><p>Scientists have identified a genetic factor that is linked with a 20% to 30% increased risk of developing bowel cancer.
