Ischemic Heart Disease
Also written as IHD.
Ischemic heart disease is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which involves plaque rupture leading to thrombus formation and subsequent coronary occlusion.
Ischemic Heart Disease
- Ischemic heart disease is primarily caused by atherosclerosis , which involves plaque rupture leading to thrombus formation and subsequent coronary occlusion. Foam cells , which are macrophages engulfing oxidized LDL, contribute to the form
- LAD → anterior LV, anterior septum
- RCA → posterior LV, SA/AV nodes

ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE (IHD)
- Definition: Imbalance between coronary blood supply and myocardial O₂/nutritional demand
- Cause: 90% due to coronary atherosclerosis (CAD)
- Epidemiology: Leading cause of death in USA + developed nations; 7 million deaths/year worldwide; mortality has declined ~50% since 1963 peak
