Cardiosclerosis Ischemic

Cardiosclerosis of the ischemic type is a chronic disease that develops due to damage to the heart muscle due to ischemia (insufficient blood supply). This disease is the result of poor circulation in the heart.

Ischemic cardiosclerosis is caused by the formation of new cells instead of damaged areas of the heart muscle. The new layer of tissue formed during this process is called a scar. The scar can be either white, consisting of connective tissue and inactive, or pink, which retains muscle cells and is capable of contracting.

Among the causes of coronary heart disease leading to its development is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. During atherosclerosis, plaques form on the walls of the coronary vessels. Impaired blood supply to the heart leads to the formation of a new layer of tissue, namely cardiosclerosis. This process is called coronary heart disease. Due to the need for new blood vessels and cells to appear in the area of ​​ischemic damage, the myocardium is disrupted, the muscle begins to swell and ceases to perform its function. The heart does not receive additional blood and suffers.

Ischemic-type cardiosclerosis is a condition in which the heart is replaced by scar tissue or fibrosis. This disease can be caused by various reasons, such as myocardial infarction, hypertension, arrhythmia and others.

As a rule, cardiosclerosis is not an independent disease, but develops

Myocardial ischemic injury is damage or destruction of heart cells caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart. It can be caused by various reasons, including coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, atherosclerosis and other heart diseases. This can lead to consequences ranging from minor cardiac dysfunction to acute myocardial infarction and death. Treatment of ischemic myocardial damage includes drug therapy, surgical treatments, and changes in the patient's lifestyle. Drug treatment may include drugs to control blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and drugs to improve blood flow to the heart. Surgical methods include coronary angioplasty (widening the arteries that supply blood to the heart) and coronary artery bypass grafting (creating a new path for blood to flow to the heart, bypassing the diseased arteries).
