Coronary artery disease is short for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, which is a chronic disease caused by multiple factors with a long pathogenesis. It is now commonly believed that: under the action of various pathogenic factors, the coronary artery intima is eventually damaged, and the formation of atherosclerosis is the result of an inflammatory-fibroproliferative response to arterial endothelial and intimal damage made. Atherosclerosis develops gradually, but often manifests itself as an acute onset, most often as angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, and as a result of which the patient is seen. We can usually only speak of the risk factors that lead to the formation of coronary heart disease and not the causative factors. Risk factors are the likelihood of coronary heart disease occurring. The more risk factors there are, the greater the likelihood of occurrence, and the presence of multiple factors does not necessarily lead to coronary heart disease. Without the current common risk factors, you may also develop coronary heart disease. Common risk factors for coronary heart disease: long-term heavy smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, male, obesity, type A personality, lack of physical activity, high homocysteine, family history of coronary heart disease, prolonged late nights, advanced age, some occupation-related (drivers, chefs, etc.).
