Ischemic Heart Disease - symptom, Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease

Ischemic Heart Disease Information

A term used to describe the responses of the heart muscle to poor oxygenation following reduction of blood supply. As a result of atherosclerosis, the total amount of blood delivered through the coronary arteries is deficient; either at rest, or in response to an increase in demand.

The transient pain of ischemic heart disease is called angina pectoris.

FAQs on Ischemic Heart Disease:

> What happens in ischemic heart disease?

Ischemia of large areas of the heart muscle will prevent the heart from pumping effectively, and cause heart failure.
If the papillary muscle of the heart valve is affected, mitral regurgitation will occur. .When ischemia is transient, it causes angina pectoris. If not relieved, it may progress to AMI.


> How can IHD be detected?

On an ECG.

> Does everypatient with IHD experience angina?

No. Exercise-induced ECG changes are often seen during a stress test in people without angina. Many 'first heart attacks' occur at the end of a long silent ischemic phase. Silent heart failure may be the first sign of a latent IHD.

> How does one recognize angina?

Chest discomfort, usually in men over 50, and women over 65. May be described by the victims as heaviness or pressure.
May last 1- 5 minutes. Pain may radiate to the shoulder and both arms, to the back and upper abdomen. May be brought on by physical and emotional strain, but can also occur at rest (unstable angina), or even when asleep. Many victims can anticipate the onset of pain when they reach a certain threshold of activity.

Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease

It is reservedfor people with long-standing and stable angina who experience severe and repeated bouts of pain despite
medication. These people are candidates for bypass surgery. Peoplewho are in careersthat involvethe safetyof others must
be placed high on the priority list.
