How is cardiovascular caused?

Coronary atherosclerosis caused by lumen stenosis or occlusion, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia or necrosis caused by heart disease, referred to as coronary heart disease, also known as ischemic heart disease. It is the most common type of cardiovascular disease, and it is also a common disease seriously endangering human health. The disease is mostly found in adults over 40 years old. The incidence of male is earlier than that of female. The incidence rate of the developed countries is relatively high. In recent years, the incidence of disease has become younger.

The disease is more common in the middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old. After 49 years old, the progress is faster. In recent years, the age of onset is younger. Compared with men, women have a lower incidence rate, because estrogen has an anti atherosclerosis effect. Abnormal lipid metabolism is the most important risk factor for atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is common in hypercholesterolemia. In clinical practice, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein are the most concerned.

Atherosclerosis was significantly increased in patients with hypertension. 60% - 70% of patients with coronary atherosclerosis have hypertension, hypertension patients suffering from this disease than normal blood pressure 3-4 times higher. Smoking and non-smoking, smokers and the incidence rate of death of this disease increased by 2-6 times, and daily smoking with the support education is proportional to. Passive smoking is also a risk factor.
