CHRONIC HEART FAILURE IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Abstract

Heart failure is a complex syndrome responsible for high mortality and hospitalization rates. Ischemic heart disease is one of the most common causes of heart failure and is usually associated with coronary heart disease, defined by the presence of one or more obstructive plaques that cause a decrease in coronary blood flow, causing myocardial ischemia and, as a result, heart failure. Coronary artery disease (CHD) determines a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the myocardium, which causes a violation of the contraction and relaxation of the myocardium. In this regard, "modern" cardiology pays great attention to the study of epicardial atheromatous plaque, its etiology, prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic interpretation.
