Introduction to Ischemic Heart Disease

Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease (CAD), is a condition characterized by a reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle. It encompasses both stable and unstable angina, as well as myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). The prevalence of ischemic heart disease varies globally, with Australia having a rate of 2.9%. The coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients, play a crucial role in the development of ischemic heart disease. The condition can be caused by atherosclerotic plaques in the blood vessels, as well as other factors like microvascular dysfunction.
