	Silent Ischemia and Ischemic Heart Disease
		Ischemia (is-KE'me-ah) is a condition in which the blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted to a part of the body.
		This is also called coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease.
		Nearly 5 million Americans are living with heart failure, and 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

	Ischemic Heart Disease
		Caused by cholesterol deposits, which block arteries, ischemic (is-KEY-mic) heart disease, also called coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease, is still the single biggest cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 500,000 Americans each year.
		Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a common complication of ischemic heart disease.
		For instance, recent studies suggest heart attack victims have the best recovery chance if they are given clot-busting (thrombolytic) agents and clot-preventing drugs (heparin, antiplatelet agents) and anticoagulants within an hour of their first symptoms to prevent the heart muscle from dying.

		Coronary artery disease is a condition in which fatty deposits (atheroma) accumulate in the cells lining the wall of the coronary arteries.
		In the United States, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both sexes, and coronary artery disease is the commonest cause of cardiovascular disease.
		Confirmation may be obtained by observing reversible ischemic changes on ECG during an attack or by giving a test dose of sublingual nitroglycerin that characteristically relieves the pain in 1 to 3 minutes.

		In this study there was no association between spousal smoking and ischemic heart disease in either sex (males, odd ratio = 0.97; females, odd ratio = 0.99) The results of this study are in striking disagreement with risk elevations reported in several previous studies of spousal smoking and heart disease.
		No overall spousal smoking-heart disease risk elevation was observed for either males or females, the adjusted odds ratios being 0.97 and 0.99 respectively (Table 2), nor was there for either sex any significant trend in risk with increasing numbers of cigarettes smoked per day by the spouse (trend test P values: males: 0.8; females: 0.3).
		the ETS-heart disease epidemiology clearly does not justify an inference that ETS exposure increases heart disease risk, and estimates of never-smoker heart disease deaths attributable to ETS exposure are without a valid basis.

		The risk of ischemic heart disease that is associated with radiotherapy for breast cancer has substantially decreased in the last 25 years, according to a new study in the March 16 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
		The authors note that the increase in the risk of death from ischemic heart disease was not apparent until late in the first decade of follow-up.
		Whether the risk of ischemic heart disease mortality resulting from radiotherapy has been entirely eliminated cannot be determined definitely from this study.

	WebHealthCentre.com - Health Centre - Ischemic Heart Disease
		Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD), otherwise known as Coronary Artery Disease, is a condition that affects the supply of blood to the heart.
		As the heart is the pump that supplies oxygenated blood to the various vital organs, any defect in the heart immediately affects the supply of oxygen to the vital organs like the brain, kidneys etc. This leads to the death of tissue within these organs and their eventual failure or death.
		The disease process occurs when an atheromatous plaque forms in the coronary vessels, leading to narrowing of the vessel walls and obstructing blood flow to the musculature of the heart.

		The cause of coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis â” the gradual buildup of plaques in blood vessels that feed your heart (your coronary arteries).
		Heart failure occurs when your heart becomes so weakened from insufficient blood supply or from a heart attack that it can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs.
		A heart attack results when an artery to your heart muscle becomes completely blocked and the part of your heart muscle fed by that artery dies.

		The national MortRate for the disease under study, minus the intercept's value, provides a reasonable estimate of the share of that national MortRate which is due to medical radiation (i.e., the share which would be absent in the absence of medical radiation).
		It is proposed that, for radiation-induced IHD, the probable mechanism is radiation-induction of mutations in the coronary arteries, resulting in dysfunctional clones (mini-tumors) of smooth muscle cells.
		Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease, combined, accounted for 45% of all deaths in the USA during 1993 (Chapter 39, Part 4).

		A recent study using 2,467 patients with established coronary artery disease concluded that when medical facilities select interventional methods to lower cholesterol they experience improved morbidity and mortality in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) — the leading cause of death in the US.
		A key factor that was determined is the importance of tailoring interventions to the needs of a specific site of care which may add to the sustainability of the interventions.
		Ischemic Heart Disease or Coronary Artery Disease is a condition that affects the supply of blood to the heart leading to heart attack and is the leading killer in the US.

	Ischemic Heart Disease
		Ischemic heart disease is defined by a situation of disproportion between the cardial need for oxygen and its supply.
		Other reasons for ischemic heart disease can be an enlargement of the heart muscle (hypertrophy), tachycardia (the heartbeat frequency being too fast), hypertension or cardiac arrhythmia.
		The diagnosis of ischemic heart disease is made most of the time because of angina pectoris and is ensured by ECG (non-stress or stress ECG).

	Executive Summary: "Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease," by ...
		Hypothesis-2: Medical radiation, received even at very low and moderate doses, is an important cause of death from Ischemic Heart Disease; the probable mechanism is radiation-induction of mutations in the coronary arteries, resulting in dysfunctional clones (mini-tumors) of smooth muscle cells.
		The percentages, of the death-rates from Cancer and IHD caused by medical radiation (i.e., the shares which would be absent, in the absence of medical radiation), are shown in Box 1 of Chapter 1.
		When increments, in the death-rate from a disease, are proportional to increments in exposure to an identified cause, a linear dose-response exists between the causal agent and increments in the death-rate.

		The potential value of echocardiography is ischemic heart disease lies in two areas: assessment of left ventricular function and diagnosis of complications that arise as sequelae of infarction.
		Unfortunately, many patients with ischemic heart disease are overweight or heavy smokers, and have large `barrel' chests with hyperinflated lungs.
		It must be kept in mind that the heart moves through the interrogating plane as it cycles through diastole and systole.

		Seventh, the conclusion, that medical radiation is a major cause of both fatal Cancer and fatal Ischemic Heart Disease, very reasonably explains the tight positive correlations between PhysPop and the MortRates for Cancer and for IHD (and the absence of such correlations for NonCancer NonIHD MortRates), while various alternative proposals fall short (Chapter 68).

		Insulin resistance syndrome, also known as the metabolic syndrome and syndrome X, carries a risk of ischemic heart disease and may be present in people with a normal body mass index (BMI).
		St-Pierre and colleagues examined the data for a cohort of men to determine the effect of cumulative features of insulin resistance syndrome on the risk of ischemic heart disease associated with different BMI categories.
		They found that, among obese men, only those who had more than 4 features of the syndrome were at increased risk of ischemic heart disease compared with normal-weight men who had fewer than 3 features of the syndrome.
