Coronary Ischemia - Side Effects

Side Effects

Coronary ischemia has some serious side effects if it is not treated. It can cause the increased risk of high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. If not treated, these can both lead to a heart attack.

When the coronary arteries become constricted, it can lead to a heart attack. One can suffer temporary chest pain or angina. A heart attack can cause arrythmias, as well as permanent damage to the heart muscle. If left untreated, coronary ischemia can also lead to a stroke.

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effects:

    Playing alone, I found the wall.
    One side was gray, the other an indelible gray.
    The two sides were separated by a third,
    Or spirit wall, a coarser gray.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Consider what effects which might conceivably have practical bearings we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
