What is the preferred source of energy for the heart muscle?
The preferred source of energy for the heart muscle is fatty acids. Fatty acids are "good fats" that are main sources of energy for cells.
Smoking and Heart Disease?
Smoking causes the build up of fatty acids in the arteries, commonly known as atherosclerosis. An excess of fatty build up in the arteries can lead to heart disease or a heart attack. Smokers are nearly twice as likely to have a heart attack as non-smokers. Smoking can also increase blood pressure and significantly increase the risk of diabetes. In order to have a healthy heart and live a long life, smoking is a habit that needs to be kicked.
How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.

What is the medical term meaning disease in which fatty deposits collect on the walls of the arteries?

Does fatty food mostly damage your lungs?
Fat from the 'Fatty Food' builds up in your arteries causing heart attacks later on in life.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.
