Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (CHD)

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease) is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries causing myocardial ischemia, ranging from stable angina to acute coronary syndrome/MI. Treatment: antiplatelet (aspirin), high-intensity statin, and anti-anginal therapy (beta-blocker/CCB/nitrates); risk-factor modification (smoking cessation, BP, lipids, diabetes); coronary angiography and revascularization (PCI/CABG) for significant stenosis/high-risk; cardiac rehab and secondary prevention.

Common Symptoms

Effort angina; history of MI; coronary risk factors (smoking/HTN/diabetes/hyperlipidemia)

Causes and Pathogenesis

Coronary atherosclerosis causes stenosis/plaque rupture, leading to ischemia/infarction.

Treatment

Aspirin/statin/anti-anginals; risk-factor control; revascularization if indicated; cardiac rehab

Preventive Measures

Risk-factor control; aspirin/statin; cardiac rehab; regular follow-up.

Department to Visit

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