Overview Causes Risk Factors Overview Also known as coronary heart disease, CAD is caused by atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"), the gradual buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries circling the heart, which provide it with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to pump blood throughout the body.

Use our calculator to find out. See the top five online resources for heart information Email this page Print this section Over time, these fatty deposits can grow large enough to restrict blood flow to the heart muscle. The diminished blood flow can cause chest pain, or angina. When the blood flow in one or more coronary arteries is completely cut off, the result is a heart attack, or injury to the heart muscle. The widespread use of cholesterol-lowering drugs has helped reduce the number of heart attacks. And for those who do have them, clotbusters and other medications, improved technologies, and physician awareness of such lifesaving measures as providing a beta blocker to heart attack patients as they leave the hospital have helped more people survive heart attacks and go on to live many more years.

Prevention "Prevention" has two meanings when dealing with coronary artery disease. Primary prevention aims at preventing heart and blood vessel disease in individuals who haven't had a heart attack or symptoms of coronary artery disease and have no known clinical evidence of CAD. Secondary prevention is aimed at individuals with known CAD. This section is intended for those in primary prevention.

Heeding all the TLC recommendations all the time is not easy. But research shows that making even the smallest lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and other serious cardiovascular conditions. Stop smoking.

SURGERY FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Contents: What is coronary bypass surgery ? Vein Grafts ITA Grafts Other Arterial Grafts ... Exciting Advances What is coronary bypass surgery ? Coronary bypass - also called CABG - is the single most common open heart operation performed in most parts of the world ! When a coronary artery is blocked, an alternate route of blood suppy may be created surgically. Using a variety of conduits (leg veins, other arteries) a connection is made between the major blood vessel of the body - the aorta - and the blocked coronary artery, beyond the area of obstruction. In this way, even though nothing is done about the block itself , blood is provided to the heart via the "bypass" ....hence the term, coronary bypass surgery. Which conduit ?...When ?...Why ?... VEIN GRAFTS... The first CABG operation was performed in 1962 at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, by Dr.David C.Sabiston Jr. The leg veins were used to create a pathway between the aorta and diseased coronary arteries. Even today, this is one of the commonly used conduits. Its main drawback is the possibility of plaque-formation in the vein conduit itself over a period of five to ten years, leading to graft occlusion. This has the same consequences as the original disease. ARTERIAL GRAFTS...The ITA Graft...

Atherosclerotic plaques, the hallmark of atherosclerosis, progressively narrow the coronary artery lumen and impair antegrade myocardial blood flow. The reduction in coronary artery flow may be symptomatic or asymptomatic, may occur with exertion or at rest, and may culminate in a myocardial infarction, depending on obstruction severity and the rapidity of development. This chapter addresses the initial evaluation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease and the management of patients who have established coronary artery disease.

It is caused by gradual blockage of the coronary arteries. Your heart gets oxygen and nutrients from the blood that flows through these arteries. In coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis causes thick patches of fatty tissue to form on the inside of the walls of the coronary arteries. These patches are called plaque. As the plaque thickens, the artery narrows and blood flow decreases. This causes the heart to get less oxygen. The plaque, or a clot of blood that forms on the plaque, may completely block an artery. This narrowing or blockage of the arteries increases your risk for heart attack and sudden death. How does it occur?

Exercise for Mild Coronary Artery Disease Michael H. Cox, PhD Series Editor: Nicholas A. DiNubile, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 25 - NO. 12 - DECEMBER 97 E arly warnings can be potent motivators. If your doctor has told you that you are at risk for the type of heart disease known as coronary artery disease (CAD) or that you have mild CAD, that's your call to action. Your doctor's exercise recommendation is something you can do that may help head off worsening symptoms or a heart attack. Why Exercise? The science behind your doctor's recommendation is that exercise can help reverse or limit the build-up of plaque (fatty deposits) in the arteries and improve the heart's oxygen supply. Among its many other important benefits, exercise raises the amount of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins) in the bloodstream, reduces the risk of developing adult-onset diabetes, modestly lowers blood pressure, and aids weight loss. The aspect of exercise that may really motivate you, though, is that it makes you feel better. It reduces fatigue and improves your mood. The mental boost you'll get from sticking to your exercise program may even help you feel more like making other lifestyle changes such as giving up smoking or losing weight. A Comfortable Routine When doctors prescribe exercise for patients who have CAD or are at risk, they aren't talking about working out until you're out of breath and your muscles are sore. Researchers have shown that aerobic exercise at a moderate intensity provides the benefits you need to improve your heart health. An example of a moderate aerobic activity is 30 minutes of brisk walking each day. Other activities that can be done at a moderate intensity include swimming, biking, and working out on an exercise machine such as a treadmill, stair climbing machine, rowing machine, or stationary cycle.

Pediatric Cardiology More Information Cardiology News Strong Heart and Vascular Center Heart Conditions Coronary Artery Disease What is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)? Coronary artery disease refers to the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries of the heart . When narrowing or blockage occurs in one of the coronary arteries, the portion of the heart that the coronary artery leads to fails to receive enough oxygenated blood. The lack of oxygenated blood may cause the individual to experience chest pain ( angina pectoris ). This pain may occur when the heart must work harder, causing the heart's oxygen demand to be greater than the oxygen supply. Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease and is the number one cause of death in the US. Fortunately, it is highly treatable and preventable. Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease Many people (as many as 30% of all patients) with coronary artery disease experience no symptoms. For others, symptoms are usually varying degrees of chest pain and shortness of breath. Often, the first symptom of CAD is a
