Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular death and tends to increase in Vietnam. Therefore, knowing the signs of coronary heart disease will help patients be more proactive in coming for examination and treatment, avoiding unfortunate complications that may occur.1. What is coronary heart disease?
Coronary artery disease is a cardiovascular disease that occurs when one or more branches of an artery become narrow and obstructed by the buildup of plaque in the blood vessel. At this time, the arteries that are inherently soft and elastic will become narrow and hard because the presence of objects in the blood vessel for a long time such as cholesterol will cause atherosclerosis.When coronary artery disease becomes more severe, blood circulation will be poor, more difficult leading to cardiovascular consequences that the heart cannot receive enough blood and oxygen needed to maintain life and eventually pain. angina, very dangerous myocardial infarction.
The main cause of a heart attack is the appearance of a blood clot that suddenly travels to the place where the artery is narrowed and hardened, blocking the artery and blocking the blood supply to the heart, leaving permanent damage to the heart system. circuit. Coronary heart disease also makes the heart work harder to carry blood to maintain life, causing the heart to quickly weaken and lead to the risk of heart failure or arrhythmia.

2. Signs of coronary heart disease
Angina is the most common symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina caused by cardiovascular disease often has pain located behind the sternum, the nature of angina is like pressure, like a stabbing knife and lasts from a few seconds to minutes. The direction of the pain can be in the arm, forearm down to the fingers, or the pain spreads to the chin, to the back, sometimes down, causing the patient to mistake it for stomach pain. Especially if the angina lasts for more than 20 minutes, it may be a sign of a heart attack that needs to be taken to the hospital for timely treatment. However, there are also some patients who describe mild pain and almost no main symptoms as silent myocardial ischemiaAngina in general has 2 types, stable angina and unstable angina determined. Specifically, each type is as follows:
Stable angina: occurs after exertion, usually because the patient has a narrow coronary artery, less blood to the heart, so when exercising, the demand for oxygen is high while the blood volume is low, causing the attack to occur. pain onset Unstable angina : sudden onset even without exertion due to coronary artery stenosis or occlusion Acute coronary syndrome : When angina occurs even with disease Patients who are at rest and continue to persist without remission after exercise is stopped is called acute coronary syndrome.
