Ageing, hypertension, hypercholesteremia, smoking, obesity Increased sympathetic nervous system activity Increased use of skeletal muscle pumps and peripheral vasoconstriction means Conditions involving atherosclerosis restricting blood flow to the heart, causing ischaemia Angina without the presence of physical plaques; caused by intense vasospasm Whether or not they are provoked by exercise 33% Up to 30% of RBCs are stored here and so increased contraction ejects more of these into blood stream to transport oxygen The plaque narrowing the lumen ruptures causing platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and unopposed vasoconstriction 25% Reduces infarct size and can help to prevent death from heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias Cardiac output x systemic vascular resistance Reduced pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance to blood flow
