What Does ASHD Stand For?
ASHD stands for Atherosclerotic Heart Disease
Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (ASHD) is a cardiovascular condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This process can result in angina, heart attacks, and other serious complications. ASHD is primarily associated with risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyle. Early diagnosis and management are crucial in reducing the risk of severe outcomes and improving patient quality of life. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and surgical interventions.
