Ischemic Heart Disease or Myocardial Ischemia is a disease in which chest pain occurs when a part of the heart does not receive enough blood. Ischemic heart disease is a common heart problem. Ischemic heart disease is common in the United States and is a leading cause of death worldwide. This condition occurs most often during exertion or excitement, when the heart requires greater blood flow.
Ischemic heart disease (IHD)
It develops when cholesterol particles in the blood begin to accumulate on the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Also known as Coronary Arteries Disease (CAD). Eventually, deposits called plaques may form. These deposits narrow the arteries and eventually block the flow of blood. This decrease in blood flow reduces the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart muscle.
Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
Cyanotic congenital heart disease
cyanotic means appearance of blue or purple color in the skin or mucous, this is due to the de-oxygenated blood in the skin tissues. Congenital means by birth and it is a Heart Disease. In Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease there may be more than one defect.

Types of Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
Caynotic Heart Disease is divided into two main types
Coronary Arteries - Vessels of the Heart
Coronary arteries:
heart receives blood from a group of arteries called as coronary arteries. these are thin arteries that supplies pure blood to the heart muscles.
these are
1: Right coronary artery RCA
(it is divided into two branches Right marginal artery and
posterior descending arteryLAD)
and2: Left coronary artery
(it is divided into two branches circumflex arteryandleft anterior descending arteryLAD)
Thick heart muscle | Hypertrophic
Thick heart muscle is the other name of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Thickening of the heart muscle called as Idiopathic Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis (IHSS),
Asymmetric Septal Hypertrophy (ASH) or
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM).
It is caused by various problems. High blood pressure is most common cause of thick heart muscle which may causes stiffning of heart and Irregular heart Rythem. It is inherited heart disease meaning that it transfers inside the family from parents to the children. Genetic factor is also involved in it. It is considered that several genes that controls for the growth of the heart muscle are responsible for this heart disease.
Thick heart muscle disease makes heart muscles to get harder and efficiency to pump blood is reduced.
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy one side of the heart (either left or right) is thicker than the other. It is more severe in younger people but condition of this disease is seen in people of all age.

Cause,symptom and treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy
Cause of ischemic cardiomyopathy is due to the blockage of artery that bring blood and oxygen to the heart. Because of this reason heart muscle tissues do not get sufficient oxygen and person suffers from ischemica. The blockage may b due to thickening of arteries by cholesterol or by plaque. Plaque is a blood clot.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the common cause of congestive heart failure. Person suffering from ischemic cardiomyopathy may once had or have heart attack, angina or unstable angina. Very few of them may not have had heart attack, angina and unstable angina
