Koszorúérszkületek

Koszorúérszkületek is a Hungarian term referring to a number of potential issues related to the coronary arteries, the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. This broad term can encompass conditions such as coronary artery disease, where the arteries narrow or become blocked due to plaque buildup, a process known as atherosclerosis. It can also refer to more acute events like a heart attack (myocardial infarction), which occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is severely reduced or completely blocked. Other related conditions might include angina pectoris, characterized by chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart, and coronary artery spasm, a temporary tightening of the artery. The causes of koszorúérszkületek are often linked to lifestyle factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and a lack of physical activity. Genetic predisposition also plays a role. Diagnosis typically involves medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests like electrocardiograms (ECG), stress tests, and coronary angiography. Treatment strategies vary depending on the specific condition and its severity, and may include lifestyle modifications, medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery.
