Veganism can help you not clog up your arteries (as bad). Even reducing your meat intake is helpful

Injecting peanuts into your veins to own the libs

If God didn't intend for us to die at the ripe old age of 40 because of poor diets, he wouldn't have given us cows and trans fats 😤

that's an infarct; not an aneurysm.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not an infarct either. It's an extrinsic stenosis which, as depicted, wouldn't be enough to cause thrombosis and even if it was tight enough - the thrombus would form downstream of the restriction until occlusion of the artery, rather than forming like a dam.

An infarct would be the damage to the tissue caused by ischaemia, as a result of loss of arterial supply.

What OP needs is an image of atherosclerosis, preferably in a coronary artery.

I'm 60% certain my profession isn't real, so we're probably both right.
