Other forms of chronic ischaemic heart disease - what does this mean

Other forms of chronic ischaemic heart disease occur when the coronary arteries become blocked or narrowed due to a build-up of fatty deposits, leading to reduced or blocked blood supply to the heart muscle. this can cause chest pain, breathlessness, and fatigue, and can eventually lead to heart failure.

What happens during the disease - other forms of chronic ischaemic heart disease

Other forms of chronic ischaemic heart disease are caused by an inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle, leading to a decrease in oxygen supply. this can be caused by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries due to the buildup of plaque, or by spasms of the coronary arteries. this reduced blood supply leads to a decrease in oxygen supply to the heart muscle, resulting in chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. over time, this decreased oxygen supply can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle, leading to heart failure and other complications.
