Ischemic heart disease is a disease of the heart triggered by decreased Oxygen allocation to the myocardium (muscle of the heart). It is mainly instigated due to blockage of arteries by the accumulation of cholesterol on walls. Ischemia is the phrase used to define “reduced blood supply”. Coronary arteries supply blood to heart muscle, blockage of coronary artery may start to decrease in the blood supply to heart. Whether or not there will be primarily swift brutal narrowing of the or closure of either the large coronary arteries or coronary artery finish branches by debris showing downstream in the blood flow. More Than A Few clinical trials have documented the benefits of revascularization in patients with acute ischemic syndromes as well as the efficacy of medical therapy.
Ways to lessen Ischemic heart disease risk include eating a healthy diet, regularly exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. Medications for diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure are sometimes used. There is limited evidence for screening people who are at low risk and do not have symptoms. Treatment involves the same measures as prevention. Additional medications such as antiplatelets (including aspirin), beta blockers, or nitroglycerin may be recommended. Procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be used in severe disease. In those with balanced Ischemic heart disease it is ambiguous if PCI or CABG in addition to the other treatments enhances life expectancy or decreases heart attack risk.
