rate of angina pectoris and risks associated with the elderly

Coronary heart disease is a term used for describing a set symptoms that are caused Especially, atherosclerosis, or plaque buildup in arteries. When smoke or eat foods rich fat or sugar, there is considerable damage in the arteries, which causes the body to strengthen the walls of the plate. When this material fat accumulates in the arteries, which not only causes inconvenience, but limits the ability of "arteries carry oxygen to the heart, resulting in a sensitivity to heart attack, a complete blockage of the artery. The elderly are health complications at high risk heart disease and associates. It is therefore important that the elderly and people who care for the elderly to identify and treat symptoms correctly.

A common symptom of coronary heart disease is chest pain or what health professionals refer to angina chest. "Angina angina or symptoms associated with angina pectoris may also be called acute coronary syndrome or spasm of the arteries coronary. This symptom is characterized mainly by the pressure in the areas around the chest, leading to what some say it sounds like indigestion. The commitment of the results of the arteries lack of oxygen reaching the heart, which in turn leads to this condition. The following table describes the different types of symptoms, including:

• Stable angina: This is the most common type. Occurs when the heart is stressed constantly be overworked, and often produces predictable patterns. increased demand for oxygen resulting activities such as exercise or other forms of stress can trigger this type of discomfort. Stable angina often easily relieved by medication.
• Unstable chest : This type of angina is not predictable, may occur randomly and can be released easily. Although all the symptoms of angina pectoris may indicate the sensitivity attack, angina unstable chest usually indicates a greater risk. The unpredictability is due to coagulation of the blood during the breakdown of blocked arteries.
• angina: This is the most rare and may occur sporadically in the night when at rest. This is due to spasm (stiffness and narrowing of the artery wall) that occur in arteries in response to certain types of stress in the body that may or may not be linked to CAD.

Because angina is less frequent, and the severity of the discomfort of angina pectoris can vary considerably, it is always best to consult a doctor to determine your risk of cardiac complications and discuss how control the symptoms that you can get a result. Seniors and caregivers elderly should work with physicians to create and maintain care plans to treat angina pectoris.

Risk factors for heart disease in people Seniors

the elderly are generally more at risk of various heart diseases. Some risk factors that were correlated with CAD or other heart conditions that give rise to symptoms such as angina pectoris:

• high cholesterol
• hypertension
• smoking
• diabetes
• obesity
• Metabolic Syndrome
• inactivity physical
• family history of heart disease

Despite a higher rate of heart attacks occur among men, men and women, the elderly suffer from angina stable or unstable, the priority of care for the elderly. Thus Timely consultation with a doctor and arrange better care for the elderly may help in the treatment of patients with CAD.

Solution for the transplants block at a time among the three coronary bypass in the post under the topic of surgery was 10 years old?

Man 58 years of age, hypertension, diabetes. known case of IC, three glasses block bypass surgery (CAP) 10 years ago (1995), unstable angina and breathlessness. Coronary angiography performed in 2001 revealed that the graft was blocked (LAD) and was on medication and recently was admitted for unstable angina and shortness of breath and coronary angiography was performed two months ago, the result was two grafts (LAD * RCA) was blocked and only one (OM) was patent, the doctor recommended a drug. I just wanted to know if other solutions (. Ie Bypass repeated surgery, etc..) please suggest

It must be the reason you do not want a repeat operation. Is it not a good candidate or unusable? If you do not think so, get a second opinion. Repeat surgeries are more complicated than the first step when you encounter problems (diabetes, hypertension). It sounds like an excellent candidate. Is it not consistent? I work in the unit ICU with an open heart surgery and redo are generally much more difficult and patients are often sicker and criticism. It not mean you can not do, but what make your life better than it is now in danger of being so high? It is in a very risk of infection, bleeding (b / c all the scar tissue) heart failure and growth retardation. I know that is symptomatic now, but more often re hospitalizion prolonged and sometimes was worse than before surgery. Check with the doctor why they do not want to operate and discuss with your family that is best for her. Good luck to you.
