My father died of Ischaemic heart disease, could this have been detected?

Answer: Yes, via autopsy that will be performed by a licensed pathologist.
While ischemic heart disease can be detected (typically via a stress test), it is much more likely that someone without previously diagnosed ischemic heart disease would die of acute myocardial ischemia and infarction (a myocardial infarction) rather than chronic myocardial ischemia.

in a stress test report if results say " findings negative for reversible ischaemia" then what does it mean

[edit] Robin Cook

Is this article describing what the BBC article on robin cooks death refers to as "hypertensive heart disease"? Or would a redirect to Hypertension#Complications be more appropriate? --NicholasJones 18:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I dont understand what you mean?

[edit] IHD vs. CAD

Is there any difference between "ischaemic heart disease" and "coronary artery disease"? If not, why are they in different articles? If yes, why is it not yet explained? --Maxxicum 21:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree. They should be merged. It is going to be some work. Miguel Andrade 01:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Agree CAD and IHD should be merged, but NOT Cardiovascular Disease. Finavon 15:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Gotta agree as well. They really do appear to be the same thing, so I say merge. Radagast83 08:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
