Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease is also known as heart disease or atherosclerosis. It is a thickening of blood vessels caused by fatty deposits called plaque. The heart must receive oxygen and nutrients for your good work.Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the heart through blood vessels called arteries. As the plaque builds up, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. Reduction of blood flow can cause chest pain, shortness of breath or may get a heart attack.

Symptoms

Coronary artery disease may be no symptoms or have the following symptoms:

• Pain or pressure in chest, arm, jaw, shoulders or neck, which can be spread from one place to another,

• a sense of pressure, weight, squeezing or burning,

• sweating

• shortness of breath,

• nausea,

• Feeling very tired, dizzy or faint.

Risk Factors

The person is at greater risk of developing coronary artery disease if:

• has a family history of disease,

• have high cholesterol, diabetes or high blood pressure,

• smoke or use tobacco,

• physically inactive,

• exposed to stress,

• are overweight.

By changing even just one risk factor may lead to improved heart health. You can prevent progression of the disease, and even improve health.

Him

The goal is to improve blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce the risk of heart attack. Care may include:

• Drug,

• exercise

• a diet low in fat,

• treatment or surgery,

• cardiac rehabilitation program.

No matter what kind of care is implemented, it does not "cure" disease. You throw out your risk factors and follow your plan of care.
