Structural and functional base of coronary heart disease typology

Abstract

According to the modern views, coronary heart disease (CHD) is a heterogeneous disease with pathophysiological and pathomorphological features. In clinical practice, CHD often is combined with other cardiac and extracardiac pathology, which results in certain clinical CHD types. The review describes the best-known of these types, as well as suggests the potential new types, which might affect early diagnostics and effective treatment of CHD.
