CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE - CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Coronary heart disease is a common term for the buildup of plaque in the heart’s arteries that could lead to heart attack. But what about coronary artery disease? Is there a difference?
The short answer is often no — health professionals frequently use the terms interchangeably. However, coronary heart disease , or CHD, is actually a result of coronary artery disease, or CAD, said Edward A. Fisher, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.
The traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease are high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, family history, diabetes, smoking, being post-menopausal for women and being older than 45 for men, and Obesity.
You can prevent and control many coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors with heart-healthy lifestyle changes and medicines. but a few risk factors—such as age, gender, and family history—can’t be controlled.
Heart-healthy lifestyle changes include :
- eating healthy food for the heart
- the ideal weight
- Managing stress
- Physical activity
- Quitting smoking
Make following a healthy lifestyle a family goal. Making lifestyle changes can be hard. But if you make these changes as a family, it may be easier for everyone to prevent or control their CHD risk factors.
