Coronary Artery Disease Treatment NYC

Every year more than 370,000 Americans die from coronary artery disease, the most common form of heart disease globally. It’s the root cause of many other heart conditions, such as congestive heart failure and heart attacks. When it’s diagnosed, you need a complete medical examination by one of the best cardiologists at Manhattan Cardiology. Your local cardiac specialist or Dr. Reisman, a leading cardiologist in Manhattan, New York, needs to assess if and how much your arteries are damaged.

Your coronary arteries supply blood to your heart muscle—coronary artery disease results in compromised blood vessels. High cholesterol and fatty deposits called plaque build up in your coronary arteries, restricting blood flow.

The build-up takes years to develop, and you only experience signs of coronary artery disease when your arteries are damaged. Signs that your coronary arteries are blocked include:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue and weakness
• Nausea and dizziness
• Palpitations
• Arrhythmia

Risk Factors for Coronary Artery Disease
A sedentary lifestyle plays a role in whether you develop heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of exercise per week. Decreasing your alcohol intake and quitting tobacco use also significantly decrease your risk for coronary artery disease.

Genetics would be another reason for the disease, especially if your family members were diagnosed early. You would be at risk if your father or brother were diagnosed with heart disease before they reached 55 years old or your mother or sister was diagnosed before they reached 65.

Aging also increases the risk of damage to the walls of your arteries. And while men are more prone to heart diseases, the risk for women increases after menopause. African American women are twice as likely to suffer from a heart condition than Caucasian women.

Medical Risks
Your heart is the hardest-working organ in the body. Certain medical conditions can interrupt your heart function. Blocked blood vessels are linked to several heart conditions. Other medical conditions that also increase your risk include:

• Atrial fibrillation
• Tachycardia
• Heart valve disease
• Stroke
• Heart attack
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes
• High triglyceride count, especially in women
• C-reactive protein in abnormal amounts or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein
• Sleep apnea

Most of these medical conditions affect your heart or your arteries negatively. For example, some conditions harden your artery walls or narrow the functional space in your arteries, which makes your heart work harder. These conditions may also increase the pressure inside your arteries. If you have a history of these problems, make sure you get a check-up from a leading cardiology doctor and top heart specialist in the country Dr. Reisman.
