What causes coronary heart disease? The incidence rate of men and women is the same.

summary

Coronary heart disease is not uncommon. It is estimated that any elderly people in their 70s and 80s have it. Coronary heart disease is the most common type of organ disease caused by atherosclerosis, and it is also a common disease that endangers the health of middle-aged and elderly people. The pathogenesis of coronary heart disease is very complex. So, which factors can cause coronary heart disease?

What causes coronary heart disease? The incidence rate of men and women is the same.

Incidence rate of gender and age: the first is age and sex: the incidence of coronary heart disease is higher after 40 years old, and the incidence rate of menopausal women is lower than that of men.

Second: 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.

Third: hypertension: hypertension is closely related to the formation and development of coronary atherosclerosis. Systolic blood pressure (140-149 mmHg) is more likely to increase the risk of death than diastolic blood pressure (90-94 mmHg).

matters needing attention

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