AB Ischemic  heart  disease  (IHD)  is  a  condition  in  which  there  is  an  inadequate  supply  of  blood  and  oxygen  to  a  portion  of  the  myocardium;  it  typically  occurs  when  there  is  an  imbalance  between  myocardial  oxygen  supply  and  demand.  The  most  common  cause  of  myocardial  ischemia  is  atherosclerotic  disease  of  an  epicardial  coronary  artery  (or  arteries)  sufficient  to  cause  a  regional  reduction  in  myocardial  blood  flow  and  inadequate  perfusion  of  the  myocardium  supplied  by  the  involved  coronary  artery.  Chapter  291e  (from  the  19th  edition  of  Harrison’s)  deals  with  the  development  and  treatment  of  atherosclerosis.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  chronic  manifestations  and  treatment  of  IHD.  The  subsequent  chapters  address  the  acute  phases  of  IHD.
