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

Other forms of acute ischaemic heart disease occur when the coronary arteries become blocked due to a build-up of fatty deposits, causing a sudden decrease in blood flow to the heart muscle. this can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and even death if not treated quickly.

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

Other forms of acute ischaemic heart disease are caused by a sudden decrease in the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle due to a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries. the blockage is usually caused by a blood clot or plaque buildup, which can lead to a heart attack or angina. the lack of oxygen-rich blood can cause the heart muscle to become damaged or die, leading to serious complications and even death.
