The heart is one of the most important organs in the body. The organs of this fist-sized functioning pumping and spreading blood containing oxygen throughout the body.
Coronary heart disease is also known by the term ischemic heart disease is one of the highest causes of death in Indonesia. About 35 percent of deaths in Indonesiawere caused by heart disease. According to the World Heart Federation, the rate of death from coronary heart disease in Southeast Asia reached 1.8 million cases by 2014.
Coronary heart disease was originally caused by the buildup of fat on the walls in blood vessels of the heart (coronary vessels), and it is eventually followed by a variety of processes such as hoarding jarinrangan belt, perkapuran, blood clots, etc.., all of which will narrow or clog the blood vessels. This would lead to heart muscle in the area is experiencing a shortage of blood flow and can lead to various consequences quite seriously, of Angina Pectoris (chest pain) until a heart Infarction, which in a society are familiar with heart attacks that can cause sudden death.
Detection Of Coronary Heart Disease
Some of the checks can be done to detect the presence of coronary heart diseasebetween others: ECG, Treadmill, Echokardiografi and Coronary Arteriorgrafi (often known as Cardiac).
With an examination of ECG can be known possibility of abnormalities in your heart with a level of precision of 40%. Then if necessary you will be encouraged to undertake an examination of Treadmill Echokardiografi.
Based on the results of such examination the possibility you will be encouraged toundertake an examination of Coronary Arteriography (Cardiac) that has the highestlevel of accuracy (99-100%) to ascertain if you have coronary heart disease.
Types and symptoms of coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease is divided into two types which are categorized based on the level of inhibition of blood flow, i.e. the wind (wind sitting) and heart attack.
Heart diseases are left untreated will lead to deadly complications. When it does not receive enough blood supply to too weak to pump blood, the heart will decreaseperformance. This condition is known as heart failure. This complication can occursuddenly or gradually.
The Cause Of Coronary Heart Disease
- High Cholesterol. Cholesterol is a type of fat produced by the liver that comes fromsaturated fat in the diet. Although cholesterol is essential for healthy cells, too much in the blood can cause heart disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol is a type of cholesterol that can accumulate on the walls of the coronary arteries and increase the risk of a section in the PJK.
- High blood pressure. Chronic hypertension, i.e. systolic blood pressure (140 mm Hg or greater) or the diastolic pressure (90 mmHg or more) can cause coronary heart disease.
- Smoking is simply known as the main factors that can damage the heart, increase the risk of blood clots and damage to the arteries. The risk of coronary heart disease increased by about 24 percent.
- Diabetes. High blood sugar levels in diabetes can increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Diabetes can make the inner layer of the blood vessels become thicker, thus limiting blood flow to the heart.
- Thrombosis. Blood clots that form in the coronary artery (thrombosis) will cause anarrowing of the blood vessels and prevents the flow of blood to the heart muscle.This usually happens in the same place where atherosclerosis is located, which in turn can lead to a heart attack.
Prevention Of Coronary Heart Disease
There are some simple precautions to avoid heart disease, namely:
- Stop smoking.
