Cardiovascular Disease

What is Cardiovascular Disease?

Dr. Fraij uses a multi-disciplinary approach to treat many common cardiac and vascular heart diseases  including: 

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is generally used to refer to the pathologic process after the coronary arteries (usually atherosclerosis). It is sometimes used synonymously with CHD. 

Coronary heart disease (CHD) includes the diagnoses of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, silent myocardial ischemia, and CHD mortality that result from coronary artery disease. 

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the pathologic process (usually atherosclerosis) affecting the entire arterial circulation, not just coronary arteries. Stroke, transient ischemic attacks, angina, myocardial infarction, claudication, and critical limb ischemia are manifestations CVD. 

Heart disease symptoms: 

Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure, and/or indigestion

Shortness of breath

Pain and/or numbness in extremities, stomach, jaw, throat or abdominal pain

In many cases patients are not diagnosed with heart disease until they have a heart attack. 

Risk Factors: 

Undetected hypertension moderate to severe blood pressure consistently greater than (160/95). 

Diabetes Mellitus 

When to see a doctor?

Seek emergency medical care if you or someone you know have these symptoms: 

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Fainting

More information on cardiac disease

Cardiac disease is a condition that develops when a substance call plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries, making it hard for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can block the blood flow. This can cause a heart attack or stroke.
