Coronary artery heart disease is referred to as coronary heart disease. It is a condition in which lipids in the blood are deposited on the otherwise smooth inner lining of the arteries due to abnormal lipid metabolism, and some atherosclerotic-like lipid substances accumulate in the inner lining of the arteries to form white plaques, called atherosclerotic lesions. These plaques gradually increase and cause narrowing of the arterial lumen, which obstructs blood flow and leads to ischemia of the heart, resulting in angina pectoris. Causes: The main cause of coronary heart disease is coronary atherosclerosis, but the cause of atherosclerosis is not fully understood and may be the result of a combination of factors. The risk factors for the development of the disease are considered to be: age and gender (men over 45, women over 55 or postmenopausal), family history (father and brother died of heart disease before age 55, mother/sister before age 65), dyslipidemia (LDL-C too high, HDL-C too low), hypertension, uremia, smoking, overweight, obesity, gout, inactivity, etc. gout, inactivity, etc.
