Complications of Vascular Disease
2022, Anesthesiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Silent myocardial infarctions can be identified by the presence of Q waves on an electrocardiogram in the absence of myocardial infarction history. Important risk factors for coronary artery disease include age, male sex, obesity, low HDL levels, elevated low-density lipoprotein levels, hypertension, tobacco use, diabetes mellitus, elevated plasma fibrinogen, and a family history of coronary artery disease.31–33 The pathophysiology of coronary artery disease is complex but is mainly related to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.
