| | Ischemic Heart Disease |
 | | Because heart patients have continuous ECG monitoring in the CCU, Dr. Morgan spotted the changes immediately, suspected that the blood flow to her heart was obstructed again, and rushed her directly to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. | | | The narrowed arteries prevent the heart from getting enough oxygen during exercise and the person experiences a chest pain beneath the breast bone—this pain is called angina pectoris. | | | The clot lessens the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, and a portion of the muscle will die if the flow is not restored quickly. |

| | When large areas of the myocardium becomes ischemic, there can be impairment in the relaxation and contraction of the myocardium. | | | These streaks represent the early stage of atherosclerotic heart disease and do not obstruct the flow of blood. | | | Risk factor management is carried out during cardiac rehabilitation, a 4-phase process beginning in hospital after MI, angioplasty or heart surgery and continuing for a minimum of three months. |

| | ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE |
| | Diagnosis of angina is a clinical diagnosis based on a characteristic complaint of chest discomfort or chest pain brought on by exertion and relieved by rest. | | | Four types of medications are available: beta-blockers, nitrates, calcium channel antagonists and anti-platelet drugs. |

| | Ischemic heart disease |
| | Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have symptoms that may be ischemic cardiomyopathy, or if chest pain is present and not relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. | | | Patients with this condition have weakened heart pumps, either due to previous heart attacks or due to current blockages of the coronary arteries. | | | This is referred to as biventricular pacing or cardiac resynchronization therapy. |

| | 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. |
