Ischaemic Heart Disease

Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD), also known as coronary artery disease, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. This topic covers the pathogenesis, clinical syndromes (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, chronic IHD, sudden cardiac death), risk factors, and complications. For Zambian tertiary students in medicine, clinical medicine, nursing, and biomedical sciences, understanding IHD is crucial for diagnosing chest pain, managing acute coronary syndromes, and implementing preventive strategies. The content is aligned with university and college curricula, focusing on atherosclerotic plaque dynamics, thrombosis, and myocardial response to ischemia. Mastery of IHD supports examination performance and clinical competency in cardiovascular assessment, emergency care, and chronic disease management in Zambia's healthcare settings.
