Ischemic heart disease (also called cardiac ischemia or myocardial ischemia<\/strong>) is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart becomes reduced, typically due to coronary artery disease. This condition can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and other symptoms. If the blockage is severe, it can lead to a heart attack. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication, surgery, or a combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ischemic heart disease occurs due to a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This process is known as atherosclerosis. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, making blood flow difficult. A sudden blockage can cause a heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common cause is atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, making blood flow difficult. A sudden blockage can cause a heart attack.
