Penyakit Jantung Koroner1 Coronary heart disease?
Coronary Heart Disease in the beginning due to the accumulation of fat in the blood vessel wall in the heart (coronary arteries), and this is gradually followed by various processes such as landfill tissue , Calcification , blood clotting, etc.., All of which would narrow or clog arteries it. This will cause the heart muscle in those areas experiencing shortages of blood flow and can cause many serious consequences, from Angina Pectoris (chest pain) until infarction Heart, who in the community known as a heart attack that can cause sudden death.
Some of the most important risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease:
Total cholesterol levels and high LDL
Low HDL Cholesterol
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Smoking
Diabetes Mellitus
Overweight
History of heart disease in the descendants of the family
Poor sports
Stress
If you carry one or more risk factors mentioned above, it is recommended you periodically check your heart health to an expert. The existence of two or more risk factors would be multiplied times the total increase the risk of Coronary Heart Disease.
Detection of Coronary Heart Disease
Several checks can be done to detect the existence of Coronary Heart Disease among others: ECG, Treadmill, Echocardiography and Coronary Arteriorgrafi (often known as catheterization).
With the ECG examination can identify possible abnormalities in the heart with 40% accuracy level. Then, if deemed necessary you will be encouraged to do a Treadmill Echocardiography.
Based on the results of the investigation will probably advisable to do a coronary Arteriografi (catheterization) which has the highest accuracy level (99 – 100%) to see if you have coronary heart disease.
Does Heart Catheterization?
Heart catheterization is an investigation that aims to examine the structure and function of the heart, including the heart, heart valves, heart muscle, blood vessels, heart and including coronary blood vessels, especially to detect the heart’s blood vessels are clogged.
The procedure was performed by the Medical Specialist by using angiography. By administering the contrast agent through the catheter, doctors can know exactly where, spacious, and the weight or the degree of vessel coronary . Results will be recorded clearly in the movie or CD (Compact Disc)

Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease
Most human organs in the work requires that blood supply and oxygen-containing foods. This supply is usually channeled through the blood vessels.
Similarly, heart, vital organs in charge of pumping blood throughout the body. These organs require a blood supply and oxygen-containing food to the muscles can continue to work.
Blood supply to the heart flows through blood vessels called coronary arteries. These arteries will branch out and blooded entire heart muscle evenly.
In normal circumstances, the amount of blood that can flow through the coronary arteries in balance with the needs of the heart muscle.
The heart muscle needs for food and oxygen supply varies, depending on whether or not heavy heart activity. Increased cardiac activity such as during exercise or when tense. In this state of food and oxygen needs will increase. However, normal coronary arteries could still miss the food and oxygen in sufficient amount of heart muscle needs.
Coronary artery narrowing can experience, called ateriosklerosis. One possible cause is the buildup of cholesterol on the walls of veins. In a mild degree, this accumulation is usually asymptomatic. If congestion is more so that the diameter of the coronary artery has narrowed the blood supply to the heart muscle will be disturbed. This interference can be seen at the time of the heart muscle must work harder, which occur imbalance between supply and demand. Characterized by pain on the left chest, sometimes radiating to the shoulder even to the left arm.
The number and severity of narrowing of determining the weight symptoms. If the coronary arteries so narrow, so of walking a few hundred feet can also trigger symptoms of chest pain.
Sometimes a coronary artery that has narrowed to a sudden total blockage. Usually due to injury in the narrowed part of the clotting reaction. If this happens, the muscle cells blooded by the blocked coronary arteries will experience death in a few minutes (myocardial infarction). If the area is large enough then die of heart activity can be stopped, which can cause sudden death.
The first step to overcome the blockage or narrowing of the coronary blood vessels dilate so that the blood supply returns to normal. It is used for drugs such as nitroglycerin or isosorbid dinitrat (ISDN). The way this administration is to put it under the tongue. Sometimes also be injected streptokinase to destroy the blockage. Unfortunately this drug is only effective if the blockage occurs just a few minutes. Also the price is relatively expensive.
To overcome the blocked coronary artery is permanently performed a variety of techniques. Some of them are installing pipe ( stent ) in the narrowed part. In addition to bypass surgery, which is grafting additional blood vessels taken from other body parts so that the blood has an alternative path if the coronary arteries narrowed or blocked.
The best way to deal with coronary heart disease is by prevention. The trick is:
1. Exercising regularly,
2. Eat a balanced diet,
3. Maintain weight,
4. Avoiding stress,
5. No smoking,
6. Implementing healthy lifestyle.
Principle of physical exercise / physical activity / sport
1. Light intensity (30 s / d 40%)
Exercise target pulse (DSL) =% intensity x DJM
Maximum heart rate (DJM) = 220-age
2. High Volume
The frequency of exercise per week

3. Continuous rhythmic activity:
Jogging
Run
Swimming
Cycling
Rhythmic gymnastics
4. Carried out regularly and continuously
