ischaemic heart disease

Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) occurs when the blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, often due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This reduced blood flow can lead to chest pain, known as angina, or more seriously, a heart attack. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol. IHD can lead to serious complications if not managed properly. Lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgeries can help improve blood flow and heart health. It's a common condition that requires awareness and ongoing care to prevent severe outcomes.
