Ischemic heart disease

Ischemic Heart Disease — Internal Medicine

How it begins

La cardiopatía isquémica (CI) representa el conjunto de síndromes clínicos derivados de un desequilibrio entre el aporte y la demanda de oxígeno al miocardio, predominantemente causado por obstrucción aterosclerótica de las arterias coronarias.
