Question 1

what does this mean
triple vessel coronary artery disease needs clinical corelation and further evaluation with conventional angiography?

Accepted Answer

Triple vessel diseas: That statement means you need to see a cardiologist for further evaluation and perhaps additional testing or treatment.

Question 2

wht does ths mean
triple vessel coronary artery disease needs clinical corelation & furthr evaluation with conventional angiography?no heart atack yet

Accepted Answer

All areas affected: The three vessels are the right side, the left anterior descending which is in front, and the left circumflex which is in the back and left side.  Three vessel disease so is just all three major areas of blood distribution are affected. Clinical correlation refers to injecting dye  into the arteries directly taking pictures and actually seeing how much blockage there is in the arteries

Question 3

what's mean mild coronary artery disease involving the left anterior descending and the right coronary artery?  it's something to worry? heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Mild CAD: Mild coronary disease means mild plaque/cholesterol build up in the coronaries with causing significant impairment in flow of blood. Prevention of progression with medications and lifestyle changes e.g. Smoking cessation would be recommended.

Question 4

im 19 and have noticed an earlobe crease in 1 of my ear.does it mean i have coronary artery disease now? how likely is it to get in your early 20s?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Although an association may exist between an earlobe crease and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Frank's Sign...this is not diagnostic. Unless you have diabetes or a strong family history, unlikely to have significant CAD at your age. I would recommend a visit with your primary doctor to discuss and consider potential bloodwork.

Question 5

coronary angiography report concluded;"atherosclerotic coronary artery disease showing moderate proximal lad mixed stenotic lesion 50%"what it means?

Accepted Answer

Test Result: I find it is best to discuss any test result with the physician who did the test or ordered the test. They can interpret it knowing all the clinical history involved and tell you exactly what is going on.

Question 6

hi my dad is in systolic congestive heart failure due to coronary artery disease. he has just been diagnosed with diastolic chf also. what does this mean? and does that mean his disease is getting worse? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: I wouldn't assume any change in the diagnosis/stability based on the simple wording issue. Congestive heart failure just means the pump does not keep up with pushing blood through the system as needed by the level of activity. The backup results in fluid retention in specific sites. It can be assisted by meds but tends to get worse over time. Please ask the docs who treat him what this means.

Question 7

what are the symptoms associated with coronary artery disease?

Accepted Answer

Many and varied: CAD can pesent with chest pain , left arm pain or a varient ie jaw teeth neck etc nausea diaphoresis shortness of breath can be anginal equivalent. It can be at rest or with exertion.If it occurs at rtest then its demed more unstable and demands immediate treatment.

Question 8

anyone know what is a micro- penis and what is the coronary artery disease link?

Accepted Answer

Micro: Micro means small
unaware of relation to coronary disease.

Question 9

how will fat cause coronary artery disease?

Accepted Answer

LDL Cholesterol: More specifically, LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol gets deposited within the walls of the arteries. These deposits, known as plaque, can continue to build up causing narrowing of the arteries and may lead to blockage. If the involved arteries are in the coronary arteries, this leads to heart disease.

Question 10

can you get coronary artery disease from drugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes: "drugs" is a vague term but if you mean recreational drugs then yes. Marijuana is as bad if not worse than cigarettes. No filter, held for extended time in lungs, and often contains unknown contaminants.So if smoking is a known risk factor....Cocaine tends to cause intense coronary artery vasospasm.This can damage the endothelium and allow cholesterol to deposit in the vessels.
