ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE

Ischaemic heart disease or coronary insufficiency implies an inadequate  blood supply for the needs of the heart. This may be manifest clinically as:

I.                    Cardiac pain (angina pectoris or myocardial infarction)

II.                 Cardiac failure

III.             Various arrhythmias, e.g atrial fibrillation or heart block

IV.             Heart block

In addition ischaemic fibrosis of heart muscle may be found histologically in cases where there have been no relevant symptoms during life.

Most cases of ischaemic heart disease are due to narrowing of the coronary arteries from atherosclerosis.
