CORONARY DISEASE - DIFFERENT NAMES
Whenever we talk about heart disease, remember we are mostly referring to the disease which is caused by the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in the arteries (blood carrying tubes in the walls of the heart). It accounts for more than 95% of the heart ailments. This means that out of 10 patients with heart ailments more than nine will have obstruction in the blood flow to the muscles of the heart.
This disease of blockage of the heart arteries is medically called 'coronary heart disease (CHD)'. Over the years the same disease has been referred to by different names. The most common of these names is 'angina'. Angina means a pain on the left side of the chest often radiating to the left arm. Since this pain is commonly found in 80% of the people having coronary heart disease, angina also became a common name.
It is known that many patients of CHD do not have a typical chest pain but have shoulder pain, breathlessness, choking sensation or burning sensation in the middle of the chest. These are also due to blockage. So, we must know that CHD can occur without angina pain.
A little less known name of the same disease is 'ischaemia' - (shortage of oxygen). All the problems of the CHD occur due to shortage of oxygen (of course due to the blockage in the tubes supplying blood to the heart muscles). 'Ischaemia' is a more scientific term. CHD is also referred to as the ischaemic heart disease or IHD, and is still being used by many doctors and patients.
Another name of the disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which is a more appropriate name and is now gaining popularity with doctors and cardiologists.
