    Coronary heart disease is a condition where plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, narrowing the lumen and reducing blood flow to the heart. It is caused by factors like smoking, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes that damage the inner layers of arteries. Over time, plaque may harden and narrow arteries, restricting blood flow and causing chest pain. Alternatively, plaque may rupture, causing blood clots that further block blood flow and can lead to a heart attack. Signs include chest pain and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves tests like ECG, stress test, blood tests, and angiography. Management focuses on reducing pain and anxiety while improving activity tolerance through lifestyle changes and medication.

    CORONARY HEART

    DISEASE
    BANAC, CHRISTINE MARIE
    CHAVEZ, ELENA VICTORIA
    GEMPESAW, CARLOS BERNARD

    Coronary Heart Disease: What is it?

    A condition in which there is a build up of plaque inside the coronary arteries

    Pathophysiology

    Causes

    CHD begins when certain factors damage the inside layers of the coronary
    arteries, these factors include:

    Smoking

    High levels of fats and cholesterol in blood

    High blood pressure

    High levels of sugar in blood due to diabetes or insulin resistance

    Blood vessel inflammation

    Old age ( men at 45; women at 55)

    What happens in Coronary Heart


    Disease?

    Plaque builds up in the coronary artery, especially with damaged inner layers.

    Over time, plaque may:

    Harden; or
    Rupture

    What happens in Coronary Heart


    Disease?

    Hardened Plaque

    Narrows the lumen

    Decreases blood and oxygen supply to the distal areas of the plaque

    Ischemic part causes chest pain or discomfort (angina)

    What happens in Coronary Heart


    Disease?

    Ruptured Plaque

    The protective layer of the plaque ruptures releasing its contents

    Platelets clump at the site of injury

    Blood clot further blocks blood flow to the heart

    Worsens angina and may lead to a heart attack when completely blocked

    Signs and Symptoms

    Chest pain radiating to shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back (angina)

    Shortness of breath

    Diagnosis

    ECG

    Stress Test

    Chest X-ray

    Blood tests

    Coronary angiography

    Assessment focus and management

    Assessment focus

    Pain related to decreased myocardial blood flow

    Activity intolerance related to lack of oxygen supply

    Anxiety related to threat to or change in health status

    Management
