Methods of treatment of ischemic heart disease
Ischemic heart disease( IHD) is a pathology that manifests itself in damage to the myocardial blood supply system, by damaging the cardiac coronary arteries.

Prolonged and irreversible reactions in the heart muscle lead to cell death, which results in sudden death of people( heart attack, etc.).
