In ischemic heart disease, due to cholesterol deposits (plaques) in the vascular wall, the lumen of one or more coronary arteries narrows (these are the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle).
Due to the narrowing of the artery, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle is reduced. This causes angina pectoris (chest pain), which often occurs during physical exertion.
Lack of oxygen and nutrients causes the muscle to contract harder to provide organ blood flow. Lifestyle changes and medical intervention help to stop and even prevent the development of coronary heart disease.
If you are diagnosed with coronary heart disease, you need to consult a doctor.
He will tell you what lifestyle changes and medical procedures will help prevent myocardial damage, slow down the deposition of plaques in the arteries and prevent the development of heart failure.
