| | Quite often, the first sign of Ischaemic Heart Disease may be the severe chest pain of Myocardial Infarction, which may be fatal. | | | Drug therapy with Nitrates, which dilate the diseased coronary arteries, administered sub-lingually are very effective in relieving the pain in a few minutes. | | | The pain is usually described as a sense of compression or tightness in the middle of the chest, and may last for five to twenty minutes. |

| | The 3 analyses consisted of 164 short-term randomised placebo controlled trials regarding 6 statins and LDL cholesterol reduction in 24,000 treated patients; 58 randomised trials regarding cholesterol reduction and IHD events that included 76,359 treated patients; and 9 cohort studies and the same 58 trials regarding stroke. | | | Statins significantly lower LDL cholesterol and thereby reduce the risk of ischaemic heart disease and stroke, according to a recent British review. | | | Furthermore, more in-depth analysis of the effects of statins on IHD events and stroke are needed. |

| | Mostly this term is used when someone has chest pain which is shown to be due to damaged heart blood vessels. | | | This means that it includes what we call 'angina' and it also includes what we call 'heart attacks'. | | | Ischaemic heart disease is disease of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscles with oxygen which is severe enough to cause temporary strain on the heart, or even permanent damage to the muscle. |
