Ischemic heart disease implies a progression of
atherosclerotic changes in the coronary artery blood supply that results in a
deprived state of oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. It is caused by a progression of inflammatory
deposits brought on by proinflammatory risk factors (family history,
hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia). Reducing risk factors slows progression.
