Heart Guide Vascular Guide History of Innovations About Us ... Dictionary Treating the Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation Understanding Coronary Artery Disease What is coronary artery disease? Coronary artery disease is a narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the arteries that provide the heart muscle with blood. When the blood flow is slowed the heart doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrients. This usually results in chest pain called angina. When one or more of the coronary arteries are completely blocked, the result is a heart attack (injury to the heart muscle). What causes the coronary arteries to narrow? Coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged by plaque build-up in the artery walls. Plaque is made of excessive cholesterol and other substances floating through your bloodstream, such as inflammatory cells, proteins and calcium. Over time, the inside of the arteries develop plaques of different sizes. Many of the plaque deposits are hard on the outside and soft on the inside. The hard surface can crack or tear, exposing the soft, fatty inside. When this happens, platelets (disc-shaped particles in the blood that aid clotting) come to the area, and blood clots form around the plaque. The artery narrows further and, in turn, less room for blood to flow through the arteries. Plaque build-up in the arteries is called atherosclerosis (atha-row-skla-row-sis), also known as "hardening of the arteries." What should you do if you have coronary heart disease?

Heart Guide Vascular Guide History of Innovations About Us ... Dictionary Treating the Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation How does coronary artery disease develop? The heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen and nuturients to stay healthy and function as it should. It receives oxygen and nutrient-rich blood through the coronary arteries . When the arteries are healthy, they have a smooth lining, allowing blood to flow freely. Blood contains fatty substances that can stick to the inner walls of your arteries. When the fatty matter starts to build up, the inner diameter of the artery becomes narrow and blood cannot flow as well as it should. This is coronary artery disease. It is a gradual process, and sometimes, you cannot tell that you have it. The process of coronary artery disease Your coronary arteries are shaped like hollow tubes. Inside, they are smooth and elastic, allowing blood to flow freely. Coronary artery disease starts when you are very young. Before your teen years, fatty deposits start streaking the blood vessel walls. As you get older, the fatty matter builds up. This causes slight injury to your blood vessel walls. In an attempt to heal itself, the cells release chemicals that make the walls stickier. Other substances floating through your bloodstream start sticking to the vessel walls, such as inflammatory cells, proteins and calcium. The fat and other substances combine to form a material called plaque or atherosclerosis. The plaque builds up and narrows the artery.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is sometimes called coronary artery disease. A coronary artery is a blood vessel that carries blood to your heart. You arteries are like narrow tubes. A fatty substance called plaque can build up in your arteries, blocking or slowing the flow of blood and oxygen through them. This can happen in any artery, but when it happens in the coronary arteries, your heart doesn't get the blood and oxygen it needs to work properly. Coronary heart disease can lead to serious health problems, including angina (pain or pressure in the chest) and heart attack. Return to top What causes CHD? Both men and women can get CHD. It can be hereditary (run in your family). It might also develop as you get older and plaque builds up in your arteries over the years. You may get CHD if you are overweight or if you have high blood pressure or diabetes. High cholesterol may also lead to CHD (see below). CHD can stem from making unhealthy choices such as smoking, eating a high-fat diet and not exercising enough. Return to top What is cholesterol?

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is arteriosclerosis of the inner lining of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. CAD is a common form of heart disease and is a major cause of illness and death. CAD begins when hard cholesterol substances (plaques) are deposited within a coronary artery. (The coronary arteries arise from the aorta, which is adjacent to the heart.) The plaques can cause a tiny clot to form which can obstruct the flow of blood to the heart muscle. Symptoms of CAD include 1) chest pain ( angina pectoris) from inadequate blood flow to the heart; 2)

C oronary artery disease has been widely considered a "man's disease" and not a major concern for women. Yet cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in adult women in the United States. A 1995 Gallup poll found that one in three primary care physicians in this country, as well as four out of five women, was unaware of this fact. Women's age-adjusted mortality rates from heart disease are four to six times higher than their mortality rates from breast cancer. Yet, because public campaigns have emphasized breast cancer risks in the effort to promote screening mammography, many women are more afraid of breast cancer than of coronary artery disease. Women are less likely than men to be offered treatment that could prevent reinfarction.

MASLEY, M.D., Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Olympia, Washington A patient information handout on coronary artery disease , is provided on page 1307. Nearly one half of Americans die of cardiovascular disease. The morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease is strongly related to abnormal lipid levels, oxidation of lipids and intra-arterial clot formation. Nutrition powerfully influences each of these factors. There is growing evidence that patients can improve lipid levels and decrease the rate of cardiovascular events by "adding" specific foods to their diets and switching from saturated and polyunsaturated to monounsaturated fats and n-3 fatty acids. Appropriate dietary changes decrease arteriosclerotic plaque formation, improve endothelial vasomotor dynamics, reduce oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and enhance thrombolytic activity. Brief discussions between physicians and patients can influence patients' food choices. Changes in diet can reduce the premature mortality and morbidity associated with coronary artery disease. P hysicians in the United States diagnose over 500,000 new cases of coronary artery disease each year. Diet is strongly related to the development of this disease. Family physicians can play a critical role in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease by influencing their patients' dietary choices.
