Heart muscle needs oxygen and nutrient rich blood to function properly and it is supplied by coronary arteries. When healthy, the coronary arteries remain strong, elastic and flexible which ensures the blood flow without any restrictions. However, the arterial health is compromised in some situations because of an underlying pathologic process called atherosclerosis which results in the thickening, loss of elasticity and calcification of coronary arteries. So build up of plaques in the coronary arteries coronary artery stenosis obstructs the blood flow to the heart, thereby weakening or damaging the heart muscles and this condition is termed as coronary heart disease or coronary artery stenosis disease (CAD). Whenever there is a partial blockage in blood supply, it leads to angina (chest pain or discomfort), while a complete blockage of blood flow causes myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Coronary Artery Disease treatment mainly includes medications, procedures and surgeries. Even some lifestyle changes can improve the quality of life. Medications are prescribed to treat the risk factors such as blood pressures, diabetes or high cholesterol levels so that it prevents the CAD from getting worse. Surgical options include angioplasty and stenting (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) or coronary artery disease treatment or Bypass Grafting (CABG). Depending on the severity of coronary lesions, an appropriate treatment plan is chosen by the cardiologist. Several advanced catheterization procedures and imaging techniques guide the interventional cardiologists to assess the physiological significance of lesions. Angiography, Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Intra Vascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) are some of the indispensable tools used in the catheterization laboratory.
Another heart disease that has gained considerable interest in the medical community is coronary microvascular disease (CMD), which particularly occurs in women. Damage or inflammation of the inner walls of the heart’s tiny arteries is the cause of CMD. Though the presence of this dysfunction can have prognostic implications in many heart vv diseases, there are no reliable standard tests available to detect this micrhovascular disease. Diagnostic techniques developed for CAD can’t be used to assess the microvasculature of the myocardium. For now, index of microvascular resistance (IMR) is a method to investigate the microvascular integrity and functional status of micro circulation. So, FFR and IMR measurements taken simultaneously during the catheterization can help in assessing the coronary artery disease and coronary microvascular resistance disease.
i was cure of coronary artery disease (CAD) with the use of natural herbs. i was diagnosed with CAD (coronary artery disease in June of 2017.I was told i have only six months to live,i only believe the doctor for some time,then i took a bold step and I embarked on a journey when i saw a post by Charles and how he was cured by herbs by Dr Okpoko,so I contacted him and that was where i receive my healing.dr.Okpoko herbalist herbs cause a turning point in my life.since I have been on these African herbs drugs, i have been doing perfectly,no more heart disease all thanks to Dr Okpoko the great herbalist.if you are out there with the same disease or similar disease and he can cure so many other diseases,why not give him a try now on his email adamokpoko@gmail.com or call +2348151731392
ReplyDeleteCoronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), involves the reduction of blood flow to the heart muscledue to build-up of plaque in the arteries of the heart. It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases.Types include stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. A common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Occasionally it may feel like heartburn. Usually symptoms occur with exercise or emotional stress, last less than a few minutes, and improve with rest.Shortness of breath may also occur and sometimes no symptoms are present. In many cases, the first sign is a heart attack.Other complications include heart failure or an abnormal heartbeat. kindly message me on whatsapp for coronary artery disease cure @ +2348151731392
