6 predictors of coronary artery insufficiencyDiabetes, overweight, and lack of physical activity are the most prominent causesSmoking, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and stress are risk factorsHeart attack and irregular heartbeat are complications of the diseaseElectrocardiography and physical stress testing are the most important diagnostic methodsHaving coronary heart disease may affect memoryGood health reduces the risk of coronary insufficiencyDoha – Medical Care:Coronary artery insufficiency is a common disease in which the main blood vessels supplying the heart (coronary arteries) have difficulty supplying the heart muscle with sufficient blood, oxygen and nutrients.Detection and symptoms of insufficiency due to the spread of the virus when the heart does not receive a sufficient amount of oxygen-rich blood, but you are infected with the Corona virus, and decrease in blood flow to the heart can cause chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath, and complete blockage of blood flow can cause a heart attack.In this interview with Dr. Hiba Ahmed Rajab Ibrahim - Cardiovascular Specialist at Naseem Medical Center, we will learn about coronary artery disease, its causes, symptoms, risk factors, the most prominent complications, diagnostic methods, the nature of the relationship between coronary heart disease and its effect on memory, and does good health reduce the risk of infection? Coronary artery disease or not?What is coronary artery insufficiency?- It is a narrowing or blockage in the coronary arteries thatSupply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen*Why does it happen?It usually occurs due to the accumulation of fat in the walls of the arteries, which is known as atherosclerosis*What are its causes?- There are many reasons, most notably:1- High cholesterol level2- Smoking3- High blood pressure4- Diabetes5- Lack of physical activity6- Weight gain7- Family history of heart disease*What are the signs and symptoms?The signs and symptoms are the following:First: pain or tightness in the chest (angina)Second: shortness of breathThird: Unjustified fatigueFourth: Acceleration or irregular heartbeatFifth: dizziness or faintingSixth: excessive sweatingWhat are the risk factors for coronary artery insufficiency?There are factors that make you more susceptible to coronary artery disease, which are: SmokingHigh cholesterolHigh blood pressureHigh blood sugarAnxiety and stressGetting olderMen are more likely to have heart attacksMorbid obesity*What are the most prominent complications of coronary artery insufficiency?The most prominent of these complications are:- This feature is:Heart attackHeart failure (inability of the heart to pump enough blood)Heart rhythm disorderSudden death*Does heart disease affect the memory?In most cases, it does not affect memory, but it may be accompanied by cases of coronary artery insufficiency and cerebral atherosclerosis due to damage to the main arteries, such as the carotid atherosclerosis. In this case, there will be symptoms of cerebral atherosclerosis, such as poor memory.*Does good health reduce the risk of coronary artery disease?- Yes, definitely*What are the diagnostic methods?Electrocardiogram and physical stress test
