Coronary heart disease is coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, the etiology is not yet completely clear, often dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and other multi-factors acting in multiple links.
1. Dyslipidemia: abnormal lipid metabolism is the most important risk factor for coronary heart disease. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol increase, HDL cholesterol decrease are the risk factors of this disease.
2. Hypertension: Studies have shown that 60% to 70% of patients with coronary atherosclerosis have high blood pressure, and the probability of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients increases 3 to 4 times.
3. Diabetes mellitus: diabetic patients coronary heart disease incidence rate is several times higher than non-diabetic, and rapid progression of lesions.
4. Obesity: obesity is also a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Obesity can lead to increased plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and often accompanied by hypertension and diabetes. In addition, smoking, family history, age and other risk factors for this disease.
Coronary heart disease is a heart disease caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, resulting in narrowing or occlusion of the lumen, leading to myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrosis. It is often not caused by any single disease, and those with the above risk factors should intervene early and seek standardized treatment when necessary.
