Ischemic heart disease

Ischemic Heart Disease — Internal Medicine

How it begins

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) represents the set of clinical syndromes derived from an imbalance between the supply and demand of oxygen to the myocardium, predominantly caused by atherosclerotic obstruction of the coronary arteries.
