Chapter 24.6, Problem 1QC
Summary Introduction
To describe: Coronary artery disease-myocardial ischemia continuum.
Concept introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease causes improper flow of blood in the arteries that supplies blood to the heart. It refers to a set of diseases that consists of stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. CAD is the most familiar form of heart disease. Vascular injury with cholesterol plaque buildup in the arteries will lead to coronary artery disease. The state of insufficient flow of blood to the heart muscle through the coronary arteries is called myocardial ischemia.
