Coronary Insufficiency

Coronary insufficiency is inadequate coronary blood flow relative to demand, causing myocardial ischemia and angina, due to atherosclerotic stenosis, spasm, or reduced flow. Treatment: anti-anginal therapy (beta-blocker/CCB/nitrates); antiplatelet (aspirin) and statin; risk-factor modification; coronary angiography and revascularization (PCI/CABG) for significant stenosis/high-risk.

Common Symptoms

Effort angina; ischemic ECG changes; coronary risk factors; by stenosis/spasm

Causes and Pathogenesis

Coronary stenosis/spasm causes mismatch of supply and demand, producing ischemia.

Treatment

Anti-anginals; aspirin/statin; risk factors; revascularization for significant stenosis

Preventive Measures

Risk-factor control; antiplatelet/statin.

Department to Visit

It is recommended to visit the Cardiology department; an appointment can be booked on this platform before the visit.
