ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM ANY HEART ALIMENTS?

WHAT IS CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE?

 Here we discuss some heart disease and the symptoms, signs, risk factors, prevention, treatment, diagnostic, and medication. coronary artery disease one of them it is also called ischemic heart disease. It is the most common heart disease and affected both men and women. In 110 million people are leading from this and 8.9 million people are a course of death.

PREVENTION OF HEART 

HOW DOES CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE EFFECT YOUR HEART?

Coronary artery disease includes stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death which is a group of disease. You might not notice a problem until you have a significant blockage or a heart attack. The heart attack can come from uncontrolled CAD.  Most heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the hearts' blood supply, causing permanent heart damage.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS PLAQUE

CDA happen when blood flow and the oxygen cannot flow in the heart artery and body muscle. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and it collab the arteries due to the plaque. plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, blockage this is due to the buildup of cholesterol. Cholesterol-containing plaque and deposits in your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for atherosclerosis. 

SYMPTOM AND SIGNS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

 At first, the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms. As plaque continues to build up in your coronary arteries, however, you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms, including :

SIGN OF CORONARY ARTERY 

• Chest pain or Angina: it includes squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightening, burning, or aching across the chest and it spread over the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw.  

• Shortness of breath: it is a first sign of the heart attack, heart failure or abnormal heartbeat.

• Age: Simply getting older increases your risk of damaged and narrowed arteries.

Other symptoms include indigestion, heartburn, weakness, sweating, nausea, cramping. 

RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

Coronary artery disease has a number of well-determined risk factors. The damage may be caused by various factors, including:

• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• High Cholesterol
• Poor diet 
• Depression
• Alcohol
• Family history

PREVENTION

HEALTHY TIPS

Coronary artery disease may be preventable if risk factors are avoided. To improve your heart health, you can take a healthy diet, maintain obesity, stop smoking, Medications, and exercise are regularly, stop consumption of alcohol, Be Controlling blood cholesterol levels, 
Reduce and manage psychosocial stress, Avoid processed foods and adopt a low trans fat, low salt, and low sugar diet, Avoiding tobacco.

TREATMENTS AND DIAGNOSTIC METHOD:

It is a diagnosis of exclusion, and the same tests are used as in any person with the suspected of having coronary artery disease: 

CARDIAC CARE TECHNOLOGY

• ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: An electrocardiogram is a diagnostic tool that is routinely used to assess the electrical and muscular functions of the heart. While it is a relatively simple test to perform, the interpretation of the EGC tracing requires significant amounts of training. 

• ECHOCARDIOGRAM: Echocardiography is a test that uses sound waves to produce live images of your heart. The image is an echocardiogram. This test allows your doctor to monitor how your heart and its valves are functioning. The images can help them spot the blood clots in the heart.

• HEART SCAN: A heart scan, also known as a coronary calcium scan, is a specialized X-ray test that provides pictures of your heart that can enable your doctor to detect and measure calcium-containing plaque in the arteries.

• STRESS TEST: A test of cardiovascular capacity made by monitoring the heart rate during a period of increasingly strenuous exercise. how much your heart can manage before an abnormal rhythm starts or blood flow to your heart muscle drops. There are different types of the stress test and also known as an exercise electrocardiogram, treadmill test, graded exercise test, or stress EKG is used most often.

• CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION AND ANGIOGRAM: Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography are semi-invasive methods of studying the heart and the blood vessels. the pressure and blood flow in your heart can be measured. Coronary angiography is done during cardiac catheterization. A contrast dye visible in X-rays is injected through the catheter. X-ray images show the dye as it flows through the heart arteries. it is done without doing surgery. 

The Treatment of coronary artery disease aims to control the symptoms and reduce the progress of the disease:

• Cholesterol-modifying medication 
• Beta-blocker
• Ranolazine
• Nitroglycerin
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme
• Angiotensin receptor blocker
• Calcium channel blocker
• Aspirin.
