Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease (CHD), also known as coronary artery disease, is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed due to a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque. This narrowing of the arteries reduces the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can be delivered to the heart, which can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and even a heart attack. CHD is a leading cause of death in the United States and many other countries. In order to diagnose CHD, doctors may use tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a coronary angiogram. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, and/or surgery.

Risk Factors

There are many risk factors for CHD, including age, gender, lifestyle, and genetics. Men are more likely to develop CHD than women, and the risk increases with age. Other lifestyle factors that increase the risk of CHD include smoking, lack of physical activity, poor diet, obesity, and high blood pressure. Genetics can also play a role, as some people may be more likely to develop CHD due to their family history.

Prevention and Treatment

In order to reduce the risk of developing CHD, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight. It is also important to have regular checkups with your doctor to monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. If you are diagnosed with CHD, your doctor may recommend medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery to treat the condition.
