Coronary insufficiency

The coronary insufficiency gathers a series of diseases due to a lack of oxygenation of the cardiac muscle (Myocarde), generally secondary with an attack of the coronary arteries.

It can appear by:

a Angina pectoris, also called angor: thoracic Pain of generally short duration.
a Myocardial infarction,
a Cardiac failure of the ischemic type,
a quiet myocardic Ischaemia which is the objectivation, using complementary examinations, of a myocardic suffering, without the patient complaining about pains.

Diagnosis

Suspecté by the private clinic:

patient having risk factors
thoracic Pain
signs of cardiac failure, for example breathlessness (dyspnea)

Specified by noninvasive complementary examinations:

Electrocardiogram of rest
Electrocardiogram of effort (test of effort)
myocardic Scintiscanning
echocardiography of stress

Confirmed by

primarily the Coronarographie,
more rarely, at least for the moment, the thoracic scanner multi bars.

See article: coronary Artery.

Treatment

Treatment of the coronary lesion

It can be:

: anti incorporating plate (aspirine, plavix), hypocholestérolémiants (statines), anti-angineux (béta-blocking, inhibiting calcic)
a dilation of the responsible artery by way endoluminale (Angioplastie coronary)
a surgery by aorto-coronary Bridging.

Treatment of the consequences of the coronary attack

to see articles:

Cardiac failure;
Myocardial infarction;

Treatment of the risk factors of the Athérome

It is necessary:

to stop the nicotinism;
to treat a diabetes, a Dyslipidémie, a arterial Hypertension;
to practice a physical ativity of regular endurance (fast walk, bicycle) 45mn per day
to adopt a standard food Mediterranean Mode even Mode crétois
