Overview

The deadliest disease in the world is coronary

artery disease (CAD). Also called ischemic
heart disease, CAD occurs when the blood
vessels that supply blood to the heart become
narrowed. Untreated CAD can lead to chest
pain, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
causes
Conditions that can cause myocardial ischemia include:

Coronary artery disease (Plaques made up mostly of cholesterol build up on your

artery walls and restrict blood flow)
Blood clot(The plaques that develop in atherosclerosis can rupture, causing a
blood clot. The clot might block an artery and lead to sudden, severe
myocardial ischemia, resulting in a heart attack)
Coronary artery spasm(This temporary tightening of the muscles in the artery
wall can briefly decrease or even prevent blood flow to part of the heart
muscle)
 symptoms

Some people who have myocardial ischemia

don't have any signs or symptoms (silent
ischemia)
Myocardial ischemia’s symptoms are:
Neck or jaw pain
Shoulder or arm pain
A fast heartbeat
vomiting
Sweating
Fatigue
Risk factors and
prevention

Risk factors for CAD include:

high blood pressure
high cholesterol
smoking
family history of CAD
diabetes
being overweight

we can prevent CAD with medications

and by maintaining good heart health.
