Left anterior descending (LAD) 90% blockage and left circumflex (LCX) 80% blockage

Описание: A blockage in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery or the left circumflex (LCX) artery can cause serious health issues:

LAD blockage
A blockage in the LAD artery can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. A critical blockage in the LAD is known as a widowmaker heart attack, which can be fatal without immediate treatment.

LCX blockage
Ostial stenoses of the LCX artery are at higher risk for restenosis after stenting. A potential stentless treatment option for these patients is a combination of DCA and DEB.

Here are some other things to know about LAD and LCX blockages:

The LAD is the largest coronary artery and supplies 50% of the heart muscle's blood.

Heart blockages can be mild, moderate, or severe, based on the percentage of blockage. Mild blockages usually don't cause symptoms.

Infarcts caused by LAD occlusion can lead to clots that can cause stroke or systemic embolism.

Risk factors for CAD and bifurcation blockage include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and family history of cardiovascular disease.

To keep your arteries healthy, you can: Maintain a healthy weight, Eat a heart-healthy diet, Manage diabetes, Manage high blood pressure, and Quit smoking

This type of angina can lead to a heart attack, which is a medical emergency. You should call 911. Because a blockage in a circumflex artery is a type of CAD, the symptoms are the same.

Normally, there are three main coronary arteries, the right coronary artery (RCA), left circumflex artery (LCX) and left anterior descending (LAD), with the LCX and LAD arteries arising from a common stem, the left main coronary artery (LMCA).
