Coronary heart disease

Coronary artery disease (atherosclerotic heart disease) is due to accumulation of atheromatous plaques in the coronary vessel walls. Coronary arteries are the major blood vessels that supply the heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients. Fatty streaks or plaques will narrow the coronary arteries and reduce the blood flow to the heart. Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades, it can go virtually unnoticed until it produces a heart attack.

Screening of heart disease

In many patients, the first symptom of coronary artery disease is heart attack or sudden death, with no preceding chest pain as a warning. Screening tests are of particular importance for patients with risk factors for coronary heart disease. The gold standard for coronary artery disease is coronary angiogram, used to identify the exact location of disease, anatomical details and the severity of disease.

Medications used in heart attack
