Stable ischemic heart disease (risk factors, diagnostic, treatment)

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a condition in which the coronary arteries become occluded due to atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

• It can manifest in a spectrum ranging from stable disease (SIHD), to unstable and potentially life-threatening (acute coronary syndrome).
• IHD is said to be stable (SIHD) in case there is no acute worsening of the patient's condition and symptoms.
