coronary heart disease ì Synonyms: CHD = coronary artery disease ischemic coronary artery disease
ì Definition: manifestation of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries.
ì process:
-
Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries
-
development of stenosis
-
reduced blood flow to the heart muscle
-
mismatch between 0 2 -demand and O 2 offer
ì Etiology: [ á increased =]
risk factors of first order 2 risk factors = heart attack risk increased 4-fold 3 risk factors = risk of heart attack 10-fold increase |
risk factors of second order |
- hypertension
- smoking
- diabetes mellitus
- dyslipidemia
- genetic predisposition
- age
- male gender
- metabolic syndrome
|
- sedentary
- stress
- lipoprotein A á
- fibrinogen á
- homocysteine á

ì pathophysiology (4 degrees of severity of coronary stenosis)
Grade 1 25 - 49%
; Grade 2 50 - 74% Grade 3 75
- 99% (critical stenosis)
, Grade 4 100% (total occlusion)
Ü only 75% the first symptoms
two forms of CHD
latent coronary heart disease ~ KHK manifest
(asymptomatic (Symptomatische DL)
DL; Stumme ;

ì coronary vessels (coronary arteries)
Extras:
# are end arteries
#, there are no anastomoses with the einzellne arteries
# dies at closing tissue from
effect of the risk factor nicotine
adrenal medulla:
-
release of adrenaline and noradrenaline
-
ð peripheral increase in heart rate
-
ð increase in O 2 -consumption of the heart
coronary vessels & Vessels:
vessel walls:
-
promote platelet aggregation
-
increase in fibrinogen levels
-
damage the intima of the arteries
-
ð increase the clotting ability Blood
-
ð encouraging early deposits
-
ð promote atherosclerosis
effect of the risk factor of alcohol
positive |
negative reduced |
- increase in HDL-cholesterol
- platelet aggregation
- reduction of fibrinogen in serum
- blood pressure reduction with low regular alcohol consumption
|
- increase in triglycerides in serum
- blood pressure with increased regular alcohol consumption (from 30 g / d = 0.3 liters of wine or 0.8 liters of beer)
