Cataract Coronary

Coronary cataract (p. coronaria) is a heart disease that develops as a result of impaired blood supply to the myocardium (heart muscle) in the area of ​​the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are an important part of the cardiovascular system as they supply blood to the heart itself.

Coronary cataracts can be caused by a number of factors, including atherosclerosis (deposition of fatty plaques on artery walls), thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the arteries), spasm (constriction of blood vessels), and embolism (blockage of an artery by a blood clot or other substances).

Symptoms of coronary cataracts may include:

1. Feeling of pressure, tightness, or heaviness in the chest (angina);
2. chest pain that may radiate to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back;
3. Feeling tired, short of breath, or weak;
4. Sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness.

If these symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor immediately. Diagnosis of coronary cataracts may include an ECG, exercise test, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and other methods.

Treatment for coronary cataracts depends on the severity of the disease. In mild cases, lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, exercising and stopping smoking may help. More severe cases may require surgery such as stenting or coronary artery bypass grafting.

In general, preventing coronary cataracts involves reducing risk factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of physical activity and increased stress levels. Regular checkups with your doctor and following treatment recommendations for other conditions can also help reduce your risk of developing coronary cataracts.

In conclusion, coronary cataract is a serious heart disease that can lead to serious consequences, including myocardial infarction and death. However, with timely diagnosis and treatment, most patients successfully cope with this disease and continue to lead an active lifestyle.
