In most cases, angina is the consequence of coronary artery atherosclerosis, when the arteries are significantly constricted by sclerotic lesions and do not allow increase in blood flow under strain.

Diet for children suffering from diarrhoea
Diarrhoea is manifested by voluminous watery stools with a frequency of more than three passages a day. The stool may also contain traces of blood, pus or mucus.

Acute diarrhoea can last for a maximum of four weeks; however, it usually lasts two to three days. Chronic diarrhoea persists for periods longer than four weeks.

Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a screening method used mostly in medicine to scan internal organs of the human body. Using MRI, it is possible to obtain cross-sections of a particular body part, which can be further processed and linked until obtaining the final 3D image of a given organ. MRI uses strong magnetic field and radio waves. Contrary to a CT scan, MRI does not carry any risks connected to radiation.
