SubscribeIschemia heart disease (Latin morbus cordis ischaemicus) is a syndrome resulting in under-supply mainly myocardial oxygen and nutrients. Lack of oxygen causes hypoxia leads to coronary insufficiency. Often occurs as a consequence of angina pectoris and, consequently, myocardial infarction. This is a very common cause of death. This disease is a consequence of coronary atherosclerosis, which leads to narrowed arteries and the deterioration of coronary flow. Ischemia are responsible for the anemia, respiratory distress, an overactive thyroid, heart defects, high blood pressure. The treatment reduces ischemic attacks, through the use of medications: anti-platelet or lipid-lowering.
