Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is defined as medical conditions affecting the
cardiovascular system, including heart, blood vessels(arteries and
veins).
II. Ischemic heart disease
Ischemic heart disease is defined as a condition of reduced blood
supply of the heart muscle, as a result of coronary artery disease
caused by plague building up in the arteries.
C. Diagnosis and tests
Diagnosis of ischemic heart disease are depending to the nature
symptoms for discovering the disease in its early stages to prevent a
heart attack from occurring
1. Electrocardiogram or electrocardiography (ECG)
Electrocardiogram or electrocardiography (ECG) is the test to diagnose
the heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart
and highly recommendation for patients showing symptoms of severe chest
pain. An abnormal patterns on the EKG may be an indication of Ischemia.
In some cases, exercise testing, an exercise ECG test or 'stress test'
as ECG recording is taken while you are exercising to induce the
symptoms of chest pain in finding the causes.
2. X ray
X ray may be necessary to rule out other causes of the symptoms.
3. Blood tests
The aim of the blood test is to monitor the activity of the heart,
including cardiac enzyme tests to test for the damage of heart muscle.
4. Echocardiogram (echo)
Echocardiogram (echo) provide your doctor an image of your heart using
sound waves by identifying the overall function of your heart, including
the structure, thickness, movement of each heart valve, etc.
Some researchers indicated that Exercise testing, whether by echocardiography or ECG, is more useful at excluding CAD
than confirming it. Clinicians have concentrated on individualising the
treatment of CAD, but there is great scope for individualising the
diagnosis of CAD using exercise testing(16).
5. Coronary angiography
The aim of the test is to provide information of providing information
of your heart functioning and to identify the narrowing and blockage of
the coronary arteries.
6. Radionuclide stress test
The aim of the test is to identify whether the blockage in a coronary
artery results in diminished blood flow to a part of the cardiac muscle.
