Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? In general, coronary artery disease means any illness that affects the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries). Coronary artery disease often is used interchangeably with coronary atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty deposits and fibrous tissue (plaques) inside the walls of the coronary arteries. Coronary atherosclerosis eventually can cause the coronary arteries to narrow significantly, which decreases the blood supply to portions of the heart muscle and triggers a specific type of chest pain called

It is a general term for both heart attack and angina . About 7 million Americans suffer from it and 500,000 Americans die from it each year. It is much more common in older people and in males. However, women tend to be older and sicker when they are first treated for a heart attack. Coronary heart disease occurs when some of the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle become narrowed with fatty deposits. In this condition fatty deposits called plaque, composed of cholesterol and fats, build up on the inner wall of the coronary arteries. When arteries are narrowed, the heart is not fully supplied with the oxygen and other nutrients it needs. If an artery is completely blocked, a heart attack occurs. Heart disease is very common. It is the leading cause of death in the United States. The tendency to develop heart disease can be genetic. However, certain lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and stress make a big difference in whether or not a person will develop heart disease. Coronary disease appears to be a lifelong process in some people, beginning at an early age and progressing slowly until the vessels become so clogged that the heart muscle no longer gets adequate nourishment

TCM Hospital: Coronary Heart Disease And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China Coronary heart disease, also know as ischemic heart disease, is commonly caused by atheromatous lesions of the coronary artery. Its major clinical manifestations are angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Although the terms angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction were not used in ancient times, descriptions of the clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease are contained in the ancient texts of traditional Chinese medicine. Etiology and Pathogenesis Precordial pain is the most prominent feature of coronary heart disease. According to traditional medical theory, obstruction in the heart vessels usually causes this pain. The vessels may be blocked by phlegm accumulation in the chest, which obstructs the yang qi, and /or by blood stasis either due to qi deficiency or due to qi stagnation. Differential Diagnosis of Syndromes 1. Obstruction of yang qi in the chest due to accumulation of phlegm

Heart Guide Vascular Guide History of Innovations About Us ... Dictionary Treating the Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation How does coronary artery disease develop? The heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen and nuturients to stay healthy and function as it should. It receives oxygen and nutrient-rich blood through the coronary arteries . When the arteries are healthy, they have a smooth lining, allowing blood to flow freely. Blood contains fatty substances that can stick to the inner walls of your arteries. When the fatty matter starts to build up, the inner diameter of the artery becomes narrow and blood cannot flow as well as it should. This is coronary artery disease. It is a gradual process, and sometimes, you cannot tell that you have it. The process of coronary artery disease Your coronary arteries are shaped like hollow tubes. Inside, they are smooth and elastic, allowing blood to flow freely. Coronary artery disease starts when you are very young. Before your teen years, fatty deposits start streaking the blood vessel walls. As you get older, the fatty matter builds up. This causes slight injury to your blood vessel walls. In an attempt to heal itself, the cells release chemicals that make the walls stickier. Other substances floating through your bloodstream start sticking to the vessel walls, such as inflammatory cells, proteins and calcium. The fat and other substances combine to form a material called plaque or atherosclerosis. The plaque builds up and narrows the artery.

Nutrition and Exercise: Healthy Balance for a Healthy Heart Printer-friendly version Email this article How does what I eat affect my heart? The food you eat can affect the way blood flows through your heart and arteries. A diet high in fat and cholesterol can gradually cause a buildup (called "plaque") in your arteries. That buildup slows down the blood flow and blocks small arteries. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the heart muscle, the heart muscle can die. That's a heart attack. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the brain, part of the brain can die. That's a stroke (also called a brain attack). The right diet helps keep your arteries clear and reduces the risk of heart problems and stroke. Keeping your heart healthy by watching what you eat isn't as hard as it sounds!

Peripheral Artery Disease Coronary Artery Disease The coronary arteries supply blood flow to the heart, and if they are functioning normally, they can ensure adequate oxygenation of the myocardium at all levels of cardiac activity. Constriction and dilation of the coronary arteries, governed primarily by local regulatory mechanisms , regulate the amount of blood flow to the myocardium. In coronary artery disease (CAD), arteriosclerotic processes narrow the lumen thereby restricting blood flow. In some forms of CAD, the vessels may undergo vasospasm , which acutely limits blood flow. Finally, CAD can result in the formation of small blood clots (thrombi) within the vessel that can partially or completely occlude the vessel. Regardless of the underlying mechanism, whenever blood flow to the myocardium is restricted there is an imbalance between

Blood flows through coronary arteries and into the heart muscle. Coronary artery disease is caused by atherosclerosis, which is a gradual buildup of material inside the arteries. The blood paths get smaller and decrease the amount of blood that can flow. If a blood clot plugs one of these arteries or blood flow decreases enough, the muscle starved for oxygen dies and a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis is a complex disease which often progresses slowly for decades and becomes serious only in older age. For some people in their thirties, it develops rapidly. Although men are generally more often at risk at younger ages, young women also develop coronary disease. After menopause, the likelihood of coronary artery disease and heart attacks in women significantly increases.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Coronary artery disease Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Coronary artery disease is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries and vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to the heart. It is caused by atherosclerosis, an accumulation of fatty materials on the inner linings of arteries. The resulting blockage restricts blood flow to the heart. When the blood flow is completely cut off, the result is a heart attack. Description Coronary artery disease, also called coronary heart disease or heart disease, is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, deaths from coronary artery disease have declined some since about 1990, but more than 40,000 people still died from the disease in 2000. About 13 million Americans have active symptoms of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries become partially blocked or clogged. This blockage limits the flow of blood from the coronary arteries, which are the major arteries supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. The coronary arteries expand when the heart is working harder and needs more oxygen. Arteries expand, for example, when a person is climbing stairs, exercising, or having sex. If the arteries are unable to expand, the heart is deprived of oxygen (myocardial ischemia). When the blockage is limited, chest pain or pressure, called angina, may occur. When the blockage cuts off the flow of blood, the result is heart attack (myocardial infarction or heart muscle death).
