•The
primary clinical manifestaion of CHD is chest
pain from stable coronary
atheromatous disease leads to stable
angina.
•Signs of stable angina are; chest pain, breathlessness after exercise, climbing hills or stairs;
symptoms are relieved by rest.
•A
stable coronary atheromatous plaque may become unstable
as a result of plaque erotion or rupture formation of thrombus, causing
sudden narrowing of the vessel. This causes an acute coronary syndrom
(ACS) which is
characterized by chest pain of increasing severity. These
patients are at high risk of MI & death & require immediate
hospitalization.
