Definition

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the most common disease in the geriatric population, with a tendency to become younger. It refers to a group of clinical symptoms caused by an imbalance between blood oxygen supply and demand for the cardiomyocytes. Due to insufficient myocardial blood supply, patients can manifest chest tightness, chest pain, and palpitation. Serious ischemic could induce a life-threatening malignant arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, becoming the leading mortality.

Overview

The history of IHD can be traced back to 1768 when “angina pectoris” was first brought forward by William Heberden (Silverman 1987) to describe the painful and disagreeable sensation in the breast, the most common symptoms of IHD. But until...
