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.

  • ECG
  • Blood tests
  • Chest X-ray
  • Echocardiogram
  • Stress test
  • Cardiac catheterization

  • CT scan
  • MRI

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of death and further complications from acute ischaemic heart disease.
  • Administering medications such as aspirin, heparin, and thrombolytics to dissolve the clot.
  • Performing cardiac catheterization to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow.
  • Performing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to bypass blocked arteries.
  • Performing angioplasty with stenting to open blocked arteries.
  • Administering oxygen therapy to increase oxygen levels in the blood.
  • Prescribing lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and following a healthy diet.
