What is the cause of coronary heart disease

summary

Coronary heart disease is referred to as coronary heart disease. It refers to the abnormal lipid metabolism, the lipid deposition in the blood on the smooth intima of the artery, and the accumulation of some atherosclerotic lipid substances in the intima of the artery into white plaques, which is called atherosclerotic lesions. These plaques gradually increase, resulting in arterial stenosis, so that blood flow is blocked, leading to heart ischemia, angina pectoris. Let's talk about the causes of coronary heart disease.

What is the cause of coronary heart disease

First: Hyperlipidemia: in addition to age, lipid metabolism disorder is the most important predictor of coronary heart disease. There is a close relationship between the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and the risk of coronary heart disease. Triglyceride (TG) is an independent predictor of coronary heart disease, often accompanied by low HDLC and impaired glucose tolerance, the latter two are also risk factors of coronary heart disease.

Second: hypertension: hypertension is closely related to the formation and development of coronary atherosclerosis. Systolic blood pressure is a better predictor of coronary heart disease than diastolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure of 140-149mmhg is more likely to increase the risk of death from coronary heart disease than diastolic blood pressure of 90-94mmhg.

Third: smoking: smoking is an important risk of coronary heart disease, is the only most avoidable cause of death. There was a significant dose-response relationship between coronary heart disease and smoking.
