Highlight about Coronary Artery Disease icd 10

• Coronary heart disease often takes decades to develop.
• In this, due to plaque the coronary arteries are shrunk.
• High blood pressure also increases the chances of coronary heart disease.
• It brings nutritious diet and regular exercise to the benefits.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease (CHD) is a serious condition. In it the arteries that carry oxygen and nutrients containing blood to the heart are damaged or diseased. Many times the plaque also becomes. This plaque (placenta) containing cholesterol on the arteries causes the coronary artery to become diseased.

Coronary arteries contract due to plaque. That is why the heart receives little blood in the heart. Finally there may be chest pain (angina) due to low blood flow or signs and symptoms of other coronary artery disease can arise. Due to plaque, a complete blockage in the coronary arteries can cause heart attack.

Coronary heart disease often takes decades to develop. You may not notice this problem until you get heart attack. However, you can do a lot to prevent and treat coronary artery disease. By being committed to a healthy lifestyle you can move your first step towards this. In the whole world, CHD is a major cause of heart disease and death. There are several risk factors of this disease that are related to each other.

What are the signs and symptoms of CAD?

Because coronary artery disease (stunted artery) develops over many years, so often the symptoms do not appear until severe hindrances and life threatens. When your heart is working harder than normal, symptoms can also be seen before, such as during exercise. But these symptoms can happen even when you are resting and no activity is happening.

The most common causes of low blood flow and oxygen in the heart include:

- Angina (chest pain)

Many times the angina is mistaken for heartburn or indigestion, which can spread in the hands, shoulders, back and jaw. In some cases, if a coronary artery breaks completely, then a person may have a heart attack, which is also known as myocardial infarction.

- Flow of small breathless breath

- nausea

- swelling

Although the most common symptom of a heart attack is pain or pressure in the chest, women may have some symptoms that are not related to chest pain such as:

-Garden, jaw, shoulder and upper back pain

Burning in the upper part of the stomach or abdomen

-Beat less or irregular heart beat

-Unusual and without cause fatigue

Mild or vomiting

-Successful or "cold sweat"

If you think you have symptoms of coronary artery disease, talk to your doctor. If you think that you can get a heart attack, get medical help immediately.

Coronary heart disease may be some of the main causes

Smoking

Smoking increases the risk of CAD. Those who smoke, the risk of heart disease is higher than those who do not smoke. Regular exercise, strong will to reduce or prevent this habit. Or you can also get medical advice and help to get rid of smoking addiction. The possibility of cardiac related diseases is greatly reduced only by giving up smoking.

high blood pressure

High blood pressure also increases the chances of coronary heart disease. Regular exercise can control blood pressure. During any work or hard work, the heart muscles begin to throttle rapidly according to the body's oxygen demand. Blood vessels, which supply oxygenated blood to the heart, also become flexible and able to spread better, thereby reducing the function of the blood vessel and reducing the possibility of high blood pressure. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure of people with low and high blood pressure can be normal if exercised regularly.

Diaslipidemia obesity

It shows abnormalities in blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. If low density lipoprotein (LDL) means bad cholesterol, higher than 130 SG / DL or higher density (HDL) lipoprotein, which is good cholesterol, is less than 40 mg / dl or total cholesterol is more than 200 mg / dl, CAD The risk increases. Exercise increases HDL and reduces LDL with a low fat nutritious diet

Being overweight or obese has direct correlation with all other risk factors of CHD. Those who have high fat on their stomach, they are more at risk. Exercise helps in reducing excess calories. Regular exercise reduces whole body fat and also increases the body's immune system. Reduced fat on the stomach helps in reducing the risk factors of diaslipidemia, type 2 DM and high blood pressure, including CHD. Along with nutritious diet and regular exercise, you will succeed in reducing excess body fat and maintaining a healthy weight.

Diagnosis

If your doctor suspects that you have coronary artery disease, he / she can refer you to a chronicologist who specializes in heart, arteries and nerves problems.

During your diagnosis your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history and risk factors. Depending on this information, your doctor may ask you to get tested so that it can be seen how healthy your arteries are. 

The most common checks are:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
• Echocardiogram (echo)
• Stress test
• Nuclei Heart Scan / Nuclei Stacey Test
• Electron Beam Computed Tomography (EBCT)
• Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
• Angiography
• Intracrocular ultrasound (IVUs)
• X-ray
• Blood test
• Whistle angiography
