Coronary heart disease From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic heart disease, is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart ). While the symptoms and signs of coronary heart disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary heart disease would have evidence of disease decades before the first symptoms arise. After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood flow to the heart muscle . Current views are that an inflammatory process of the lining of the arteries, though poorly understood in specifics, promotes the disease progression.

TCM Hospital: Coronary Heart Disease And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China Coronary heart disease, also know as ischemic heart disease, is commonly caused by atheromatous lesions of the coronary artery. Its major clinical manifestations are angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Although the terms angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction were not used in ancient times, descriptions of the clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease are contained in the ancient texts of traditional Chinese medicine. Etiology and Pathogenesis Precordial pain is the most prominent feature of coronary heart disease. According to traditional medical theory, obstruction in the heart vessels usually causes this pain. The vessels may be blocked by phlegm accumulation in the chest, which obstructs the yang qi, and /or by blood stasis either due to qi deficiency or due to qi stagnation. Differential Diagnosis of Syndromes 1. Obstruction of yang qi in the chest due to accumulation of phlegm

Cardiac Diseases Coronary Artery Disease Definition Coronary artery disease (CAD) , also known as coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary atherosclerosis, involves the progressive narrowing of the arteries that nourish the heart muscle. Often there are no symptoms, but if one or more of these arteries become severely narrowed, angina may develop during exercise, stress, or other times when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. Cause The narrowing is due to a buildup of fatty plaque (atherosclerosis) along the artery walls. These deposits are composed mostly of cholesterol, other lipids, and fibrous tissue, such as collagen. Coronary disease appears to be a lifelong process in some people, beginning at an early age and progressing slowly until the vessels become so occluded that the heart muscle no longer gets adequate nourishment. The underlying cause is unknown, although it is seen most frequently in people who live in developed industrialized nations. Diagnosis myocardial ischemia A presumptive diagnosis of coronary disease is based on a review of symptoms, health history, an electrocardiogram, and an exercise stress test, perhaps with a thallium scan. A more definitive diagnosis requires cardiac catheterization and angiography.

Oxygen and nutrients serve as a fuel supply to the pump and is carried to it in the form of blood that flows through the coronary arteries. Thus, the coronary arteries serve as fuel pipe lines to the heart muscle. The inner lining of the normal coronary artery is smooth and free of blockages or obstructions.

Medical Services Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester The heart pumps blood to nourish all parts of the body, including itself. Blood flows through coronary arteries and into the heart muscle. Coronary artery disease is caused by atherosclerosis, which is a gradual buildup of material inside the arteries. The blood paths get smaller and decrease the amount of blood that can flow. If a blood clot plugs one of these arteries or blood flow decreases enough, the muscle starved for oxygen dies and a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis is a complex disease which often progresses slowly for decades and becomes serious only in older age. For some people in their thirties, it develops rapidly. Although men are generally more often at risk at younger ages, young women also develop coronary disease. After menopause, the likelihood of coronary artery disease and heart attacks in women significantly increases. Mayo Cardiovascular Health Clinic Mayo's Cardiovascular Health Clinic is a collaborative effort of cardiologists, exercise physiologists, dietitians, specially trained nurses, certified exercise specialists and cardiopulmonary exercise technicians within the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases to provide patients with guidelines for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Nutrition and Exercise: Healthy Balance for a Healthy Heart Printer-friendly version Email this article How does what I eat affect my heart? The food you eat can affect the way blood flows through your heart and arteries. A diet high in fat and cholesterol can gradually cause a buildup (called "plaque") in your arteries. That buildup slows down the blood flow and blocks small arteries. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the heart muscle, a heart attack can occur. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the brain, a stroke (also called a brain attack) can occur. The right diet helps keep your arteries clear and reduces the risk of heart problems and stroke. Keeping your heart healthy by watching what you eat and making healthy food choices isn't as hard as it sounds! Return to top Tips for a heart-healthy diet Eat less fat (especially butter, coconut and palm oil, saturated or hydrogenated vegetable fats such as Crisco, animal fats in meats and fats in dairy products). Use nonstick vegetable oil cooking sprays instead of oils.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Coronary artery disease Definition Coronary artery disease is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries and vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to the heart. It is caused by atherosclerosis , an accumulation of fatty materials on the inner linings of arteries. The resulting blockage restricts blood flow to the heart. When the blood flow is completely cut off, the result is a heart attack Description Coronary artery disease, also called coronary heart disease or heart disease, is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, in 1995 one in every 4.8 deaths in the United States was caused by coronary artery disease. About every 29 seconds one American will have a heart attack; about every minute one American will die from a heart attack. Fourteen million Americans have active symptoms of coronary artery disease (heart attack or chest pains ). Many millions more have silent coronary disease, the first indication of which can be sudden death. Coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries become partially blocked or clogged. This blockage limits the flow of blood from the coronary arteries, the major arteries supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. The coronary arteries expand when the heart is working harder and needs more oxygen. Arteries would expand, for example, when a person is climbing stairs, exercising, or having sex. If the arteries are unable to expand, the heart is deprived of oxygen (myocardial
