Coronary
heart disease (CHD),
also known as coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic
heart disease, is the result of accumulation of atheromatous
plaques (an abnormal inflammatory accumulation of the macrophage
white blood cells) within the walls of the arteries.
The symptoms and signs of coronary heart disease can only
be noted in the advanced state of the disease. Most individuals
who suffer from coronary heart disease can have no
evidence of its existence for long periods of time before
they have a stroke.
Causes of Coronary Heart Disease
- Family history of coronary heart disease
- Males are more prone to this particular disease
- Being 65-years-old or greater
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Lack of physical activities
- Menopause
in women
- Infection that causes inflammation of the artery wall
Symptoms leading to coronary heart disease may not
always be easily readable, as many live with clogged arteries
for years before they realize they have a problem. Usually
people suffering from coronary heart disease walk
in the emergency room with a heart attack on their hands.
Here are some of the symptoms
that may help you recognize this disease:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
As prevention is always better then treatment, one should
try and have regular check ups and follow the doctor’s advice.
Knowing in time that you are likely to have a heart problem
may save you from being faced with an emergency situation,
which can sometimes turn to be fatal.
