Disease Features silent myocardial ischaemia
Absence or low individual and public risk
Silent myocardial ischaemia - what does this mean
Silent myocardial ischaemia is a condition in which there is reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, but without any symptoms. it is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood. this narrowing is usually due to atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty deposits on the artery walls.
What happens during the disease - silent myocardial ischaemia
Silent myocardial ischaemia is caused by an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand, resulting in inadequate oxygen supply to the cardiac muscle. this can be due to an obstruction in the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen to the heart, or a decrease in oxygen delivery due to a decrease in cardiac output or an increase in oxygen demand. this imbalance can lead to an accumulation of metabolic waste products in the cardiac muscle, resulting in myocardial ischaemia.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Clinical evaluation
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiogram
- Stress test
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)
- Coronary angiography
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the risk of silent myocardial ischaemia.
- Lifestyle modifications, such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and exercising regularly.
- Medication to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Anticoagulant therapy to reduce the risk of clot formation.
- Angioplasty or stenting to open blocked arteries.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to bypass blocked arteries.
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to treat arrhythmias.
13 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Silent myocardial ischaemia - Prevention
Silent myocardial ischaemia can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, increasing physical activity, eating a healthy diet, and managing stress. additionally, controlling existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes is important for prevention. regular check-ups with a doctor are also important for early detection and management of silent myocardial ischaemia.
