What changes can occur on an ECG due to coronary artery disease?
Changes on an ECG due to coronary artery disease can include ST-segment depression or elevation, T wave inversion, and the presence of pathological Q waves. These changes may indicate myocardial ischemia, injury, or infarction caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle from narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.
Why would a patient need a coronary angiogram?
A patient may need a coronary angiogram to evaluate for blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This test helps diagnose conditions such as coronary artery disease and determine the need for further treatment, such as angioplasty or bypass surgery.

Will large numbers of radicals within the body increase the risk of coronary heart disease?
High levels of radicals within the body can contribute to oxidative stress, which is linked to the development of coronary heart disease. Radicals can damage blood vessels and contribute to the buildup of plaque, increasing the risk of heart disease. Adequate antioxidant intake through a balanced diet can help counteract the effects of radicals and reduce the risk of heart disease.
How does chd occur?
Coronary heart disease (CHD) occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, which consists of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This process, known as atherosclerosis, restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to symptoms such as chest pain and, in severe cases, heart attacks. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Over time, these factors contribute to the progression of CHD.

How does smoking affect your risk cardiovascular disease?
Nicotine, the active ingredient in tobacco, is a stimulant compound. For those individuals who are already predisposed to heart disease and coronary artery narrowing, nicotine stimulation can cause coronary artery vasospasm and attacks of angina pain. Smoking cigarettes is a known risk factory for coronary artery disease.
Is there any difference between coronary heart disease and coronary artery disease?
No. They are synonymous terms.
What does coronary stenting follow?
