What is ischemic heart disease?
Ischemic heart disease is defined as the recurring chest pain or discomfort in the heart when a part of the heart does not receive enough blood. It develops when the cholesterol particles start accumulating on the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This deposition of particles is called plaques. The arteries become narrow and the decrease in the blood flow reduces the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. It is also called coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease. This can ultimately lead to a heart attack.
What are the causes of ischemic heart disease?
The development of atherosclerosis (plaques) in the heart muscles is the main cause of ischemic heart disease that causes the arteries to become harden and accumulate cholesterol plaques on their walls. If the surface breaks or ruptures, then platelets will clump at the site to try to repair the artery and this blocks the artery which leads to a heart attack.
Ischemic heart disease causes includes early childhood damage or injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery. The damage may be caused by various factors which include:
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Being overweight
