  Coronary artery disease is a common heart condition that affects the major blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. A buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls usually causes coronary artery disease. This buildup is called plaque. The buildup of plaque in the arteries is called atherosclerosis (ath-ur-o-skluh-ROE-sis). Atherosclerosis reduces blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body. It can lead to a heart attack, chest pain or a stroke. […] Symptoms of coronary artery disease can include: Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort, called angina. Shortness of breath. Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper belly or back. Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in the legs or arms if the blood vessels in those body areas are narrowed.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

  Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), or ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a type of heart disease involving the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to a build-up of atheromatous plaque in the arteries of the heart. It can cause stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial infarction. […] A common symptom is angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Occasionally it may feel like heartburn. In stable angina, symptoms occur with exercise or emotional stress, last less than a few minutes, and improve with rest. Shortness of breath may also occur and sometimes no symptoms are present. In many cases, the first sign is a heart attack. Other complications include heart failure or an abnormal heartbeat.

  Chest pain is the most common CAD symptom. […] You might have CAD for many years and not have any symptoms until you experience a heart attack. […] Symptoms of chronic CAD include stable angina: This is the most common symptom. Stable angina is temporary chest pain or discomfort that comes and goes in a predictable pattern. […] Sometimes, the first coronary artery disease symptom is a heart attack. […] The main complication of coronary artery disease is a heart attack. […] Over the years, CAD can also weaken your heart and lead to complications, including arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation), cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and heart failure. […] Coronary artery disease treatment often includes lifestyle changes, risk factor management, and medications. […] Managing your risk factors for CAD can help slow down the progression of your disease. […] You can’t reverse coronary artery disease. But you can manage your condition and prevent it from getting worse.

  If you cant tell whether your chest pain is a heart attack, call 9-1-1 right away. […] Sometimes coronary heart disease is „silent,” meaning you may not have any symptoms until you have a heart attack or other complication. This can make coronary heart disease hard to diagnose. […] Coronary heart disease often develops over many years. As plaque builds up and narrows the coronary arteries, you’re more likely to have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or neck pain when you exert yourself. Symptoms often go away with rest and return when you are active or under stress. Symptoms may get worse as plaque keeps building up. […] Chest pain or discomfort that does not go away or occurs while you are resting might be a sign of a heart attack. All chest pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.

  Coronary heart disease symptoms depend on the severity of the disease. As symptoms can come and go, they may be unrecognised. Some people may experience no symptoms, while others may experience mild to severe ones. Symptoms may also become stronger or more frequent as the disease progresses. […] The common signs and symptoms of coronary heart disease include the following. […] Chest pain (angina): If the heart does not receive enough oxygen due to blocked coronary arteries, there may be a feeling of pressure or tightness in the chest. This chest pain normally occurs in the middle or left side of the chest. […] Pain spreading to the arms, shoulder, jaw or neck: These signs and symptoms could indicate a heart attack, which can be triggered by a severely blocked coronary artery.

  The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort that occurs regularly with activity, after eating, or at other predictable times; this phenomenon is termed stable angina and is associated with narrowing of the arteries of the heart. Angina also includes chest tightness, heaviness, pressure, numbness, fullness, or squeezing. Angina that changes in intensity, character, or frequency is termed unstable. Unstable angina may precede myocardial infarction. […] With advanced disease, the narrowing of coronary arteries reduces the supply of oxygen-rich blood flowing to the heart, which becomes more pronounced during strenuous activities during which the heart beats faster and has an increased oxygen demand. For some, this causes severe symptoms, while others experience no symptoms at all. […] Symptoms in females can differ from those in males, and the most common symptom reported by females of all races is shortness of breath. Other symptoms more commonly reported by females than males are extreme fatigue, sleep disturbances, indigestion, and anxiety. However, some females experience irregular heartbeat, dizziness, sweating, and nausea. Burning, pain, or pressure in the chest or upper abdomen that can travel to the arm or jaw can also be experienced in females, but females less commonly report it than males. Generally, females experience symptoms 10 years later than males. Females are less likely to recognize symptoms and seek treatment.

  When plaque builds up, it narrows your coronary arteries, decreasing blood flow to your heart. Eventually, the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. […] If your coronary arteries narrow, they cant supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart especially when its beating hard, such as during exercise. At first, the decreased blood flow may not cause any coronary artery disease symptoms. As plaque continues to build up in your coronary arteries, however, you may develop coronary artery disease signs and symptoms, including: […] Chest pain (angina). You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest, as if someone were standing on your chest. This pain, referred to as angina, usually occurs on the middle or left side of the chest.

  Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. CAD usually develops slowly over many years, gradually reducing blood flow to the heart. Symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue may emerge over time, significantly affecting daily activities. […] Angina (chest pain) happens when you don’t have enough blood flow to your heart, causing your heart to work with less oxygen than it needs to function properly and leading to a squeezing feeling in your chest. […] Unstable angina is chest pain that happens suddenly and often while at rest. It’s more serious than regular chest pain because it can lead to a heart attack. […] Shortness of breath occurs when you can’t catch your breath or have trouble breathing.

  Coronary artery disease often develops over many years. Symptoms are from the lack of blood flow to the heart. They may include chest pain and shortness of breath. A complete blockage of blood flow can cause a heart attack. […] When coronary arteries become narrow, the heart doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood. Remember, unlike most pumps, the heart has to pump its own energy supply. It’s working harder with less. And you may begin to notice these signs and symptoms of pressure or tightness in your chest. This pain is called angina. It may feel like somebody is standing on your chest. When your heart can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s needs, you might develop shortness of breath or extreme fatigue during activities. And if an artery becomes totally blocked, it leads to a heart attack. Classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing, substernal chest pain, pain in your shoulders or arms, shortness of breath, and sweating.

  Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops if the large blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen (the coronary arteries) become too narrow. This happens if deposits build up in the arteries over time. CAD can be acute or chronic. Acute CAD leads to a heart attack because one or more coronary arteries are blocked by a blood clot. As a result, part of the heart doesn’t get any oxygen. It is important to act quickly because otherwise that part might die. Heart attacks are often treated with a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) to quickly open the blocked artery again. […] CAD develops if the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen become too narrow. […] This can cause symptoms such as a tight chest, shortness of breath and nausea. […] In chronic („stable”) CAD, a coronary artery is permanently too narrow. As a result, less blood flows to the heart muscle. The heart is then no longer able to beat more strongly during physical activity because it doesn’t have enough oxygen. That can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath and a tight feeling in the chest. The symptoms go away again after resting for a few minutes, or after taking medicine.

• #35 New Staging System for Coronary Artery Disease

  https://cleerlyhealth.com/blog/new-staging-system-for-coronary-artery-disease

  New research proposes a four-stage system for measuring the progression of cardiovascular disease (CAD) based on atherosclerotic plaque – not secondary symptoms of heart disease. […] The staging system describes patients based on either the total plaque volume or percent atheroma volume, which is the proportion of arterial walls occupied by plaque. Stages are defined as normal (no plaque), mild, moderate, and severe plaque. […] The lack of a staging system for CAD to date has stemmed from the lack of a reliable way to measure and treat heart disease risk given the current standard of cardiovascular care. […] The next step is developing a personalized and optimal treatment plan based on the disease burden. As with cancer and common chronic conditions, this plan varies based on the stage of disease progression further emphasizing the importance of a staging system for CAD.

[…] Sometimes coronary heart disease is „silent,” meaning you may not have any symptoms until you have a heart attack or other complication. This can make coronary heart disease hard to diagnose. […] Coronary heart disease often develops over many years. As plaque builds up and narrows the coronary arteries, you’re more likely to have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or neck pain when you exert yourself. Symptoms often go away with rest and return when you are active or under stress. Symptoms may get worse as plaque keeps building up. […] Chest pain or discomfort that does not go away or occurs while you are resting might be a sign of a heart attack. All chest pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

  Limitation of blood flow to the heart causes ischemia (cell starvation secondary to a lack of oxygen) of the heart’s muscle cells. The heart’s muscle cells may die from lack of oxygen and this is called a myocardial infarction (commonly referred to as a heart attack). It leads to damage, death, and eventual scarring of the heart muscle without regrowth of heart muscle cells. Chronic high-grade narrowing of the coronary arteries can induce transient ischemia which leads to the induction of a ventricular arrhythmia, which may terminate into a dangerous heart rhythm known as ventricular fibrillation, which often leads to death.

  Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition which affects the arteries that supply the heart with blood. […] CAD develops over a long period of time and eventually progresses to the point where you may feel symptoms such as chest pain. […] Eventually, the disease progresses until the symptoms of angina or heart attack occur. These symptoms can be experienced during activity or at rest: Chest pain, or a feeling of heaviness in the chest. Pain in the arm, neck or jaw. Shortness of breath. Sweating. Nausea. Heart palpitations (a racing or irregular heartbeat). Loss of consciousness. […] Symptoms women commonly experience when a heart attack occurs include: Chest pain: While men having a heart attack often report a crushing or stabbing pain in their chest, many women say they felt pressure, tightness or aching in their chest or back. Fatigue: More than feeling tired, this overwhelming fatigue makes it hard to do anything. Breathing difficulties: It’s suddenly a struggle to take a full breath. Radiating pain: Pain spreads across the jaw, arm, shoulder or radiating across the back.

If the blockage gets over 90%, that chest pain, fatigue or shortness of breath can come even at rest.” […] CAD typically presents in two different ways. Stable Coronary Disease means a patient has cholesterol build up that slowly gets worse over time. Acute Coronary Syndrome is a sudden change where a blockage becomes severe and causes sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. This could be caused by cholesterol rupturing in the heart arteries or a clot forming that causes a heart attack. […] If a patient has a family history of CAD, they are likely at risk for it, too.

So it’s important to know the possible signs of a heart attack and know what to do in an emergency. […] In chronic (stable) CAD, the symptoms are triggered by physical or emotional strain. The point at which the symptoms start is sometimes called the physical activity threshold. The symptoms go away quickly if you rest or take the right medicine. […] Chronic CAD can take different courses. According to current knowledge, good long-term treatment can even make angina symptoms disappear again. […] But it can sometimes also progress and cause a heart attack. So it’s important for people with CAD to know the signs of a heart attack. These include: Symptoms that suddenly get worse without physical or emotional strain (at rest) […] Symptoms that appear sooner, last longer or are more severe than usual […] Symptoms that don’t get better even after taking emergency medication such as nitrates.

  If you cant tell whether your chest pain is a heart attack, call 9-1-1 right away. […] Sometimes coronary heart disease is „silent,” meaning you may not have any symptoms until you have a heart attack or other complication. This can make coronary heart disease hard to diagnose. […] Coronary heart disease often develops over many years. As plaque builds up and narrows the coronary arteries, you’re more likely to have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or neck pain when you exert yourself. Symptoms often go away with rest and return when you are active or under stress. Symptoms may get worse as plaque keeps building up. […] Chest pain or discomfort that does not go away or occurs while you are resting might be a sign of a heart attack. All chest pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.
