Chronic coronary heart disease (CHD)
Coronary heart disease is the most common heart disease. The concept of "coronary heart disease" includes both acute forms of the disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction) and chronic (focal, or diffuse, cardiosclerosis, i.e. lesions of the heart muscle tissue). At the heart of the disease is coronary artery disease, when the heart muscle is less well supplied with blood, most often due to atherosclerosis.
In most cases, coronary heart disease develops stealthily, although an "acute discharge" myocardial infarction is also possible. Almost always the disease manifests itself with symptoms of angina pectoris of one or another degree of severity.
The medications recommended for angina pectoris can be used for coronary heart disease, as well as the following drugs.
