Ischemic Heart Disease
View through CrossRef
Ischemic heart disease, principally myocardial infarction, causes approximately 1 of 3 deaths in the United States, or nearly 800,000 deaths annually. The substantial decrease in the death rate from acute myocardial infarction that has occurred since 1970 is attributed to efforts in primary prevention and new interventions in the treatment of myocardial infarction. The variable presentation of patients with coronary heart disease includes patients who are asymptomatic (with or without silent ischemia), patients who have stable or unstable angina or myocardial infarction, and patients with sudden death.
