CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Coronary heart disease is a type of heart disease where the arteries
cannot deliver enough of oxygenated blood to the heart.
There are two types of coronary disease: Coronary heart disease and
Coronary microvascular disease
Coronary heart disease affects the larger coronary arteries on the
surface of heart. It is caused by high cholesterol, this build up can
partially or totally blocks the flow of blood in the arteries
Whereas Coronary microvascular disease affects the tiny arteries in
the heart muscles . it is caused when the hearts tiny blood vessels
don’t work normally. it is most common in womens.
Symptoms of coronary heart disease may differ from person to
person even if they have the same type of heart disease.
Some of the symptoms of heart disease are chest pain, blood flow
to the heart is blocked causing a heart attack, or the heart suddenly
stops working, also known as cardiac arrest.

BEHAVIOURS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO RISK OF CRONARY HEART DISEASE
Factors that increase risk include high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol,
smoking, living a inactive lifestyle, being overweight, having diabetes, eating
poorly, consuming alcohol, and stress.
High blood pressure
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and is made worse
by:
Lack of exercise and smoking
being overweight unhealthful eating
excessive alcoholic beverage use
Stress
Although it is treatable with medicine, changing one's lifestyle is even more
advantageous.
High cholesterol
Atherosclerosis is a condition that limits blood flow to your heart and other
essential organs and is brought on by the accumulation of lipids, including
cholesterol and other chemicals in and on the walls of your arteries.
Even children as young as 8 have been shown to have high cholesterol levels.
At least every five years, and more frequently in the case of those with a higher
risk of heart disease, all men and women over the age of 35 should have their
cholesterol levels checked. like high blood pressure
Smoking
A 50-year study of doctors who smoked revealed that those who stopped
before the age of 30 had no enduring risk factors for heart disease. However,
individuals who continued to smoke at the age of 50 lived 6 years less.
Sedentary lifestyle
American adults spend 6 to 8 hours every day sitting down. Sedentary behavior
is becoming more and more clearly linked to cardiovascular disease. According
to studies, those who moderately exercise are less likely to experience a heart
attack or stroke. According to recent studies, being active throughout the day
has a better impact than doing out at the gym after spending the day
sedentary.
Unhealthy weight
Cardiovascular disease is a result of being overweight or obese, and having too
much belly fat is a particularly dangerous issue. Even a three to five percent
weight loss has been demonstrated to produce clinically meaningful changes,
however a loss of 10% of body weight can have major health advantages.
Diabetes
A significant risk factor for heart disease is having type 2 diabetes in the future.
However, the illness process can be stopped by diet and exercise for at least six
months.
Drinking Alcohol
One drink per day for women, two for males, is actually heart-healthy when
consumed in moderation. But if you do more, you'll probably shorten your life
by at least a year or two.
Stress
The body releases cortisol and adrenaline in response to stress, which raises
blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
You might also become more sedentary and engage in unhealthy eating and
drinking habits. In instances like a significant earthquake, soccer match
viewing, or within 24 hours of a loved one's passing, studies have
demonstrated that stress is linked to cardiovascular problems.

RESULTS:
According to the results it shows that
mostly heart disease are found in
females and people who have smoked.

decrease we need to stop the use of
alcohol and nicotine.
