Overview
Ischemic heart disease or myocardial ischemia is a disease characterized by ischemia which means reduced blood supply to the heart muscle. It is usually due to coronary artery disease i.e. atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. The risk of ischemic heart increases with age, smoking, high cholesterol levels, diabetes and hypertension. This disease is more common in men and those who have close relatives with ischemic heart disease. The risk of getting this disease increases with age and is more prevalent among smokers.
Genetic and hereditary factors may also be responsible for the disease. According to some researchers, stress is also thought to be an important risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
Symptoms of ischemic heart patients may include acute pain due to angina or a heart attack. Symptoms of heart failure usually develop slowly over time. However, common symptoms of ischemic heart diseases include cough, fatigue, weakness, faintness, irregular or fast pulse, palpitations, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, swelling of feet and ankles, swelling of the abdomen etc.
Conventional treatment of ischemic heart mostly employs surgery and drugs to treat the symptoms of this cardiovascular disease. But rarely it gets to the root cause of the disease. The most useful methods for diagnosing of early ischemic heart disease are electrocardiogram, radioisotope studies and echo-cardiography. Other procedures may include positron emission tomography.
