Ischemic Heart

Disease Ischemic Heart Disease, otherwise known as Coronary Artery Disease, is a leading cause of death in the United States. It is a condition that occurs when the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood, oxygen, and nutrients become narrowed or blocked. This decrease in blood flow to the heart can cause chest pain, heart attack, and sudden death. Treatment options include lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, exercise, and medications, in addition to surgical intervention. Ischemic Heart Disease is an important public health concern, and early diagnosis and management are essential for preventing future complications.
