Ischemic heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle due to build-up of plaque (atherosclerosis) in the arteries of the heart. It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases. Types include stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. A common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Occasionally it may feel like heartburn. Usually symptoms occur with exercise or emotional stress, last less than a few minutes, and improve with rest. Shortness of breath may also occur and sometimes no symptoms are present. In many cases, the first sign is a heart attack. Other complications include heart failure or an abnormal heartbeat. In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about Ischemic heart disease published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Ischemic heart disease. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Ischemic heart disease as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
