    Cause of IHD

    Reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.

    Epicardial artery blockage

    Complete blockage of major heart arteries leads to increased resistance in smaller blood vessels.

    Ischemia at rest

    Severe narrowing of the coronary arteries (over 70%) causes symptoms even when the heart isn't working hard.

    Acute Coronary Syndrome part

    Unstable angina is a type of chest pain that is a symptom of unstable blood flow to the heart.
