Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease and the number one cause of death of both men and women in the United States. This condition occurs when the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle, gradually become narrowed or blocked by plaque deposits. The plaque deposits decrease the space through which blood can flow. Poor blood flow can "starve" the heart muscle and lead to chest pain. A

    Extractions: The most common symptom in patients with coronary heart disease is chest discomfort, known as angina pectoris, which simply means pain in the chest. Angina pectoris occurs when there is an imbalance between the oxygen supply to the heart muscle and the demand for oxygen by that muscle. As a general rule, adult patients with coronary artery disease have symptoms in middle-to-late age. Occasionally a young person has symptoms of coronary artery disease. But this usually happens to a person who has a very strong family history of premature coronary disease, a heart attack occurring in a parent at an early age, 35 years old, for example. Angina Pectoris Can Be Provoked By Physical Exercise Emotions Cold Heat Fast Heart Rate You may often hear the term "stable angina pectoris." This term defines a chest discomfort thought to be due to heart muscle ischemia that is provoked by physical exercise, emotions such as anger and frustration, cold, heat, or a fast heart rate. Sometimes the chest discomfort is described not necessarily as pain, but rather as a suffocating feeling or pressure. There are many factors that can aggravate the sensation of angina pectoris, including high blood pressure, fast heart rate for any reason, heart failure, thyroid problems, smoking, anemia, or the use of drugs that increase heart rate and blood pressure, such as over-the-counter medications normally taken for colds.

As the artery walls thicken, the passageway for blood narrows. Sometimes platelets gather at the narrowing, forming a clot that decreases or prevents blood flow to the region of the heart supplied by the artery. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States each year.

    Extractions: What is Coronary Artery Disease? What is coronary artery disease? Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in America. Coronary arteries supply the heart with blood. When they become narrowed by fatty deposits, or plaques, the heart does not get enough blood and ultimately is damaged. If a coronary artery becomes so clogged that part of the heart muscle dies, you may have a heart attack . The plaques, which form in the coronary arteries, are composed primarily of cholesterol , lipids, and cellular debris. The development of these plaques is a condition known as atherosclerosis What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease? Sometimes atherosclerosis causes angina , the severe, recurring chest pain that occurs when the blood flow is restricted and not enough oxygen reaches the heart. How is coronary artery disease prevented and treated? The risk of developing coronary artery disease is increased if: you smoke, have

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Spanish version Illustration Illustration Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a type of heart disease. It is caused by gradual blockage of the coronary arteries. Your heart gets oxygen and nutrients from the blood that flows through these arteries. In coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis causes thick patches of fatty tissue to form on the inside of the walls of the coronary arteries. These patches are called plaque. As the plaque thickens, the artery narrows and blood flow decreases. This causes the heart to get less oxygen. The plaque, or a clot of blood that forms on the plaque, may completely block an artery. This narrowing or blockage of the arteries increases your risk for heart attack and sudden death. How does it occur?

    Extractions: In 1954, it was impossible to predict or even to think that my bleeding gums would one day, 31 years later, lead to additional useful life to people with coronary disease related to cholesterol and lipid metabolism. That year, malocclusion of my teeth had broken down the ability of my gum tissue to repair itself quickly enough. Because my bite was not correct there was too much wear and tear on tooth sockets and my gums began to bleed. No amount of vitamin C and no amount of dental repair helped. Eventually I reconciled myself to the idea I would soon have all my teeth extracted. Two weeks after I had started taking niacin my gums were normal. I was brushing my teeth one morning and suddenly awakened in surprise there was no bleeding whatever! A few days later my dentist confirmed my gums were no longer swollen, and I still have most of my teeth. Eventually I reasoned that the niacin had restored the ability of my gum tissue to repair itself faster than I could damage it by chewing with my crooked teeth. A few weeks later he came to Regina by train and I drove him to Weyburn in my car to meet Dr. Osmond and his staff. On the way down and back we discussed our work. He gave me an interesting review of how he saw the problem of arteriosclerosis, which he considered to be a disease of the intima, the inner lining of the blood vessels. He hypothesized that the intima had lost its ability to repair itself quickly enough. As soon as I heard this I thought of my bleeding gums and of my own repair hypothesis. I then told him of my recent experience. I asked him if he would be willing to test niacin which if it had the same effect on the intima as it had had on my bleeding gums might have antiarteriosclerotic power. Prof. Altschul was intrigued and agreed to look at the idea if he could get some niacin. I promptly sent him one pound of pure, crystalline niacin from a supply I had received earlier, courtesy of Merck and Company, now Merck, Sharp and Dohme.

    Extractions: 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 angina. If a blood clot (thrombus) should form inside a narrowed coronary artery, the result is a heart attack (myocardial infarction), which can cause significant damage to the heart muscle. However, atherosclerosis can affect more than just the coronary arteries. The arterial narrowing and damage caused by atherosclerosis are can cause stroke, aortic aneurysm and poor circulation to the extremities (arms and legs), bowel and kidneys. Because coronary artery disease means coronary atherosclerosis in most patients, the risk factors for coronary artery disease are basically the same as those for atherosclerosis:

    Extractions: Nancy J. V. Bohannon, MD VOL 105 / NO 2 / FEBRUARY 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This is the first of four articles on complications of diabetes This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables Preview : Although diabetes clearly increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, secondary prevention often is overlooked in diabetic patients. Clinical trials show that aggressive lipid-lowering therapy provides significant benefit in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease, often to an even greater extent than in the nondiabetic population. In this article, Dr Bohannan looks at a number of secondary prevention strategies for patients with diabetes and discusses when and why to use them. T he high prevalence of large-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetic patients is well recognized, but the magnitude of this problem is not always appreciated. Data from the 18-year Framingham Study (1) show that the relative risk for CAD in diabetic men and women 45 to 74 years of age is 2.4 and 5.1 times greater, respectively, than for age-matched nondiabetic men and women. In the Islington Diabetes Survey (2), the prevalence of serious CAD increased from 9% in subjects with normal glucose tolerance to 17% in those with impaired glucose tolerance and 20% in those with diabetes. Diabetes is the most common cause of myocardial infarction (MI) in persons under age 30 in the United States. One study (3) over a 3 1/2-year period showed an increase in CAD events in a subset of subjects who had the highest hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. CAD-related mortality in both men and women with type 1 (formerly called insulin-dependent) or type 2 (formerly known as non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is much greater than in nondiabetic populations (4). Like CAD events, CAD mortality also increases with increasing HbA1c levels (3).

    Extractions: Coronary Artery Disease Also known as Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) , Coronary Arteryt Disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease. The National Institute of Health estimates that some 7 million Americans suffer from it. Each year more than 500,000 men and women in the US die of heart attacks caused by CAD. The coronary arteries , illustrated at right, surround the heart to supply the heart muscle with the fresh blood nourishment it needs to do its work of pumping blood throughout the rest of the body. Just like other organs, the heart needs a constant supply of oxygenated blood to feed itself. Coronary Artery Disease is an occlusion (obstruction) of the coronary (heart) arteries resulting from atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis). When the body goes into more strenuous activity, the heart has to work harder to supply the body's demands for fresh, oxygen-rich blood. When this happens, the heart's own need for oxygen rich blood rises, and the constrictions in coronary arteries prevent it from receiving the necessary amount. This insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscle results in oxygen deprivation, a condition called myocardial (heart) ischemia The image below left is an arteriogram showing occlusion of the right coronary artery.The illustration at right below shows a heart with diseased Left Anterior Descending (LAD) and Right Coronary Arteries (RCA). Stenosis is the diseased arterial tissue. A buildup of stenosis results in occlusion, or blockage, of an artery.

    Extractions: Heart Disease Coronary Artery Disease Overview Format for Printing Coronary artery disease (CAD; also called coronary heart disease, CHD) is the most common form of heart disease in America and Europe and is a serious health problem worldwide. The incidence of CAD is lower in Asian countries, particularly Japan, where diets are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Main Menu: Overview of CAD Coronary artery disease (CAD) usually results from atherosclerosis, a condition that occurs when arteries become narrow and hardened due to cholesterol plaque build-up. Further narrowing of the arteries may result from thrombi (blood clots) that form on the surfaces of plaques. Angina (chest pain) or dyspnea (shortness of breath) may be present. Myocardial infarction (heart attack) can be a serious result of CAD, occurring when a blocked coronary artery causes death to a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle). Cardiac arrest may also result from CAD; 90% of sudden deaths occur in patients with two or more major arteries narrowed by atherosclerosis. Statistics show CAD to be the leading cause of death among both men and women in the United States and in Europe. For example, approximately 12,800,000 Americans suffer from CAD and nearly 500,000 Americans die from heart attacks caused by CAD. Over 12 million Americans have a history of myocardial infarction or angina or both.
