Limestone in the coronary arteries increases the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

Many people already know that coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of sudden death among Thais, and the trend continues to rise. When it comes to coronary artery blockage, the first cause that comes to mind is probably the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries. However, in reality, arterial blockage is not solely caused by fatty plaque but also by the accumulation of calcium, also known as "limestone."

Heart Health Check: The Older You Get, the More Attention You Need

What type of chest pain is it? Is it likely to be related to heart disease?

It could be a sign of heart disease without us realizing it. If you are someone who is concerned that you or someone close to you may be at risk of heart disease, don't just sit and worry. Let's check to make sure what type of symptoms are indicative of "heart disease."

CT Coronary Calcium Score

Calcium Score, or CT Coronary Calcium Score, is a diagnostic procedure used to detect "calcifications in the coronary arteries" using a computed tomography (CT) scan. Its purpose is to assess the "degree of deterioration" in the coronary arteries and evaluate the "risk" of developing coronary artery disease in the future, even in the absence of symptoms.

Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography, also known as heart catheterization, involves threading a catheter through a small incision in the groin, wrist, or arm up to the coronary arteries and injecting a contrast dye. Subsequently, an X-ray is performed, capturing images of the coronary arteries to assess any blockages or constrictions.

Coronary Artery Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography is a procedure that involves threading a catheter through the groin, elbow, or wrist arteries to the heart's blood vessels. A contrast dye is injected, and then X-rays are taken to visualize the condition of the blood vessels and identify any blockages.

Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly)

Enlarged hearts can be classified into two major types: those caused by thickening of the heart muscle due to the heart working hard or being under strain, often associated with high blood pressure or valve abnormalities, and those caused by poor relaxation of the heart muscle, leading to blood pooling in the heart chambers.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

Acute coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, depriving the heart muscle of adequate blood flow and resulting in myocardial ischemia. Patients often experience severe chest tightness, described as a sensation of something squeezing their chest.

Heart Failure Caused by Leaky Heart Valves

Mitral valve regurgitation often does not present noticeable symptoms initially, as they typically arise when the heart can no longer tolerate the increased volume of blood. However, symptoms can suddenly manifest, potentially leading to heart failure.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography is utilized to assess abnormalities in the movement of the heart walls, measure the amount of blood ejected during heart contractions, and visualize various heart diseases, including congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, myocardial diseases, and coronary artery disease.

Electrocardiogram : (EKG or ECG)

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a simple and effective diagnostic tool for detecting heart-related conditions. It provides initial information about heart abnormalities and can lead to more targeted and detailed examinations.
