(Lee el siguiente texto e identifica las categorías gramaticales presentes en las
oraciones resaltadas, tomando en consideración su función en la oración).
The most common cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries). Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries may cause the development of a
coronary thrombus (blood clot), which blocks the flow of blood to the heart muscle. If,
as a result, part of the heart muscle dies, the condition is called myocardial
infarction (a heart attack). Some symptoms and signs of a heart attack are pain in the
chest (and sometimes also in the jaws and arms), shortness of breath, irregular pulse,
nausea, and perspiration. Prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation can save victims from
sudden death. Among the emergency procedures used is a technique known as percutaneous
transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This technique widens coronary arteries that have
become dangerously narrow due to deposits (called plaque) on their interior walls. The
procedure involves manipulating a catheter (flexible tube) into the constricted vessel,
then inflating a small balloon at its tip, thereby compressing the plaque and widening
the passage. This procedure can sometimes substitute for a much more traumatic one -
bypass surgery.
2. Translate the sentences into Spanish, taking in consideration the principle of
coherence, that is, you have to make sure it makes sense and it’s understandable.
(Traduce las oraciones en español tomando en consideración el principio de
coherencia, es decir, cerciórate de que tenga sentido y sea entendible).
