IHD and angina: symptoms, diagnosis and treatment in Tashkent

Other names: ИБС, стенокардия напряжения, грудная жаба, коронарная disease сердца

Coronary artery disease is a condition in which the heart muscle receives less blood than it needs due to narrowing of the coronary arteries by atherosclerotic plaques. Its main manifestation is angina pectoris: pressing pain behind the sternum, which appears during exercise and goes away with rest. Angina doesn't just impair quality of life; it is a warning that the artery is narrowed and at any moment a blood clot can form on the plaque - that is, a heart attack can develop.

🚨 See a doctor urgently

With these signs do not wait for a scheduled appointment — the condition requires emergency care.

  • Приступы участились, стали сильнее или возникают в покое
  • Боль длится дольше 20 минут и не снимается нитроглицерином
  • Приступ впервые в жизни
  • Боль сопровождается холодным потом, одышкой, обмороком
  • Приступы начали будить ночью
  • Резкое снижение переносимости нагрузки за короткое время

What does a typical attack look like?

Classic angina is described by three signs, and the more of them coincide, the higher the likelihood of coronary artery disease.

  1. Характер и локализация: давящая, сжимающая боль или тяжесть за грудиной, часто с иррадиацией в левую руку, шею, челюсть.
  2. Провокация: возникает при физической нагрузке (ходьба в гору, подъём по лестнице, вынос тяжестей), на холоде, после еды, при волнении.
  3. Купирование: проходит через 1–5 минут после остановки или приёма нитроглицерина.

An attack that lasts seconds, “stabs” at one point, intensifies with inhalation or movement - is not typical for angina pectoris. This pain is often associated with the chest rather than the heart.

Stable and unstable

  • Stable angina: attacks are predictable, occur under approximately the same load, last the same, and are relieved in the same way
  • Unstable angina: attacks have become more frequent, occur with less exertion or at rest, have become longer, and are less easily controlled. This is an emergency condition, a precursor to a heart attack.
Любое изменение привычной картины стенокардии — повод обратиться немедленно, а не «дотерпеть до планового приёма». Именно на этой стадии вмешательство предотвращает инфаркт.

Survey

  1. ЭКГ в покое — часто нормальная вне приступа, поэтому её одной недостаточно.
  2. Нагрузочная проба (тредмил, велоэргометрия) или стресс-эхокардиография — выявляют ишемию при нагрузке.
  3. Эхокардиография — оценка сократимости и последствий перенесённых инфарктов.
  4. Суточное мониторирование ЭКГ — при подозрении на безболевую ишемию и нарушения ритма.
  5. МСКТ-коронарография — неинвазивная оценка коронарных артерий.
  6. Инвазивная коронарография — золотой стандарт; выполняется, когда обсуждается стентирование или шунтирование.
  7. Анализы: липидный спектр, глюкоза, гликированный гемоглобин, креатинин.

Treatment

Treatment of coronary artery disease stands on two legs: drugs that reduce the risk of heart attack and death, and methods that eliminate narrowing of the artery. The first is mandatory for everyone, the second is required.

  • Antiplatelet agents - reduce the risk of thrombosis on the plaque
  • Statins in a dose that provides the target level of LDL cholesterol; are accepted constantly
  • Beta blockers - slow down the heart rate, reduce the heart's need for oxygen and the number of seizures
  • Nitrates - to relieve and prevent attacks
  • Blood pressure control and diabetes compensation
  • Stenting - with significant narrowing and persistent attacks
  • Coronary artery bypass surgery - with damage to several arteries, the trunk of the left coronary artery, in some patients with diabetes
Важное заблуждение: «поставили стент — можно не пить таблетки». Стент расширяет один участок, но не лечит атеросклероз в остальных артериях. Отмена антиагрегантов после стентирования грозит тромбозом стента — это одно of самых опасных решений, которые может принять пациент.

What reduces the risk

  • Complete smoking cessation is the most powerful factor; the effect is noticeable already in the first year
  • LDL cholesterol target achieved by statins rather than diet alone
  • Blood pressure in target range
  • Regular aerobic activity 30 minutes most days of the week
  • Mediterranean diet: vegetables, fish, olive oil, less red meat and trans fats
  • Weight loss and sleep apnea treatment
  • Annual flu vaccination reduces risk of cardiovascular events

Frequently asked questions: Coronary heart disease and angina pectoris

How to distinguish angina from neuralgia?+
Angina pectoris is a pressing pain in the chest that appears during exercise and goes away within a few minutes with rest. Neuralgia - point pain, intensifies with inhalation, rotation and pressure; does not depend on the load.
Does a normal ECG rule out CAD?+
No. Outside of an attack, the resting ECG is often normal. Detection of ischemia requires stress testing, stress echocardiography, or coronary artery imaging.
Can I stop taking the pills after stenting?+
Absolutely not. The stent expands one area, but atherosclerosis remains in the remaining arteries. Withdrawal of antiplatelet agents risks stent thrombosis and heart attack.
Which is better - stent or bypass?+
Depends on how many arteries are affected and where exactly. With one or two narrowings, a stent is often placed, with damage to several arteries, the trunk of the left coronary artery, and in some patients with diabetes, the result is better after bypass surgery.
Is it possible to play sports with IHD?+
It is not only possible, but also necessary - regular moderate aerobic exercise improves the prognosis. The intensity is selected based on the results of the stress test together with the cardiologist.
