Study Notes
Chronic Coronary Disease (CCD)
- Chronic coronary disease (CCD) is a type of coronary artery disease (CAD)
- CAD is a subset of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Angina Definition and Types
- Angina is a result of imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand
- Types of angina:
- Normal stable angina
- Unstable angina
- Variant angina
Epidemiology of CVD and CAD
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects 49% of the population
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) affects 7.2% of the population
- Men are more affected by CAD than women
Angina Etiology and Pathophysiology
- Atherosclerosis leads to the formation of blood clots, which can cause angina
- Coronary spasm can also cause angina
- Angina occurs when there is an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand
Test your knowledge about chronic coronary disease (CCD), including its definition, types, risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, treatment goals, management approaches, and therapy options.
