Short Description of Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease develops when the major blood vessels of the body that supply the heart are diseased or have become damaged due to cholesterol deposits or plaques. This accumulation of fats in the blood vessels along with inflammation are the ones that lead to the diseases associated with this condition.

Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease

The most common is angina or chest pain which can be described as tightness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness or squeezing chest discomfort. Other associated symptoms are:

• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations: irregular heartbeats, skipped beats or a “flip-flop” feeling in your chest
• A faster-than-normal heartbeat
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Extreme weakness
• Sweating

About Coronary Artery Disease

The coronary arteries are the main blood vessels that supply the heart. Coronary artery disease refers to the narrowing or blockage of the major coronary arteries. The disease is known as atherosclerosis and is defined as the accumulation of cholesterol and fatty deposits known as arterial plaques on the walls of the arteries of the heart.

Etiology of Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is known to begin with damage or injury to the inner layer of the coronary artery and may at times begin as early as childhood. The damage is caused by different factors such as tobacco use, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes or insulin resistance, and sedentary lifestyle.

Risk Factors

1. Age – Getting older increases the risk of developing damaged or narrowed arteries.
2. Sex – Men are in general more at higher risk for the development of CAD but the risk for women increases upon menopause.
3. Family history – Patients with a strong medical family history of the disease are more predisposed to developing the condition.
4. High Blood Pressure – Uncontrolled high blood pressure can result to hardening and thickening of the arteries.
5. High Cholesterol Levels – Patients with high levels of cholesterol particularly the LDL type.
6. Diabetes – Patients with diabetes mellitus are known to increase the risk of developing CAD.
7. Obesity – Excess weight usually worsens the other risk factors.
8. Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of exercise along with other risk factors are known to cause the disease.
9. High Stress Levels – Unrelieved stress in a person’s life may result to damage to the arteries.
10. Poor or Unhealthy Food Choices – Eating too much food with high amounts of saturated fat, trans fat, salt and sugar increases the risk.
