Which factors/complications have a negative influence?
Coronary artery disease can progress worse if the therapy is not targeted. Symptoms can worsen and serious complications such as heart failure or a heart attack can occur. It is therefore essential to take the medication according to plan and to take control visits to the cardiologist seriously.
The same applies to lifestyle. It is important to eat a healthy diet and exercise. At the same time, overweight, nicotine and stress should be avoided to relieve the cardiovascular system.
If you continue to smoke a lot, are under stress and eat poorly, this promotes the progression of coronary heart disease. If the coronary arteries are increasingly poorly supplied with oxygen, complications of coronary heart disease can occur. A heart attack can occur if certain areas of the heart are no longer sufficiently supplied with oxygen by the coronary arteries.
In the long term, dangerous cardiac arrhythmia and cardiac insufficiency can result. The heart valves can be irreversibly damaged, i.e. irreversibly, and this can also lead to inflammation and effusion in the pericardium and to embolisms. The complications of untreated coronary artery disease are serious and can be life-threatening.
Nicotine is considered an independent risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. This means that nicotine alone has a higher chance of developing coronary artery disease. Since CHD is in turn considered to be the origin of heart attack and stroke, the connection can be deduced that nicotine consumption leads to increased calcification of the coronary vessels.
This leads to a shortened life expectancy, since people with a pronounced CHD are significantly more likely to suffer a heart attack and die earlier as a result. Irrespective of this, nicotine consumption also promotes the development of an extremely aggressive form of lung cancer, which begins to metastasize at an early stage. Also the predominance ranks so far still among the factors of risk for the development of a koronaren heart illness.
Since it can be assumed that overweight persons have less exercise and higher blood lipid levels. However, there is also a small group of people who would be classified as overweight due to increased muscle mass. For this reason, people have recently started to consider hip circumference as a risk factor.
From the increased blood fat values again a strongly increased Arteriosklerose risk and from it also an increased KHK danger results. This in turn is connected with an increased risk of heart attack, which correlates with an increased overall mortality. Naturally there are beyond that still further factors, which the predominance brings with itself, which accompany with a shortened life span.
