ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASES TREATMENT

DEFINITION:
Ischemic heart disease occurs when patients have blockages in the arteries supplying their heart (coronary arteries). These blockages are virtually always due to atherosclerosis (build-up of fats in the walls of the arteries). If these blockages get too severe, your heart will not receive enough blood when you ask it to do more work (like when you walk briskly up a hill). Sometimes, blood clots form over the blockages, and the vessel becomes completely closed. Then blood flow to part of the heart may cease completely, and that part of the heart muscle dies. This is a heart attack.

ADVANTAGES OF TREATMENT:

1. 1. Reduce the severities of the symptoms
2. 2. Prevent blood clots
3. 3. Help keep abnormal heart rhythms under control
4. 4. Relax the heart & lighten the hearts workload
5. 5. Helps an injured heart do its job
6. 6. Expand the arteries and ease the strain on the heart

ISCHEMIA MAY BE CAUSED BY:

1. 1. Reduced coronary blood flow (more than 90 % of cases), due to arteriosclerosis with vasospasm or thrombosis or both.
2. 2. Uncommon causes of reduced blood flow are arthritis, emboli, cocaine-induced vasospasm and shock with systemic hypotension.
3. 3. Increased myocardial demand exceeding vascular supply – Example: 4. Tachycardia, hypertrophy.
4. 4. Reduced oxygen supply due to certain conditions may contribute to cardiac damage.
5. 5. Example: Severe anemia; advanced lung disease; cyanotic congenital heart disease; carbon monoxide poisoning or cigarette smoking.
