Coronary Artery Disease (Ischaemic Heart Disease): Protecting Your Heart's Vital Supply

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease, is a condition that occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked by a buildup of plaque. This reduction in blood flow can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attacks, or other serious complications.

Understanding CAD and its symptoms is crucial for preserving your heart health:

Risk factors for CAD include age, family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Symptoms of CAD may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, and a sensation of pressure or tightness in the chest.
Early detection and treatment can help manage CAD and reduce the risk of complications.

Managing CAD heart disease involves a comprehensive approach:

Lifestyle modifications, such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and stress reduction, are crucial in preventing and managing CAD.
Medications like aspirin, statins, beta-blockers, and nitroglycerin may be prescribed to control symptoms, lower cholesterol, manage blood pressure, and prevent blood clots.
In some cases, interventional procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery may be necessary to restore blood flow to the heart.
