I’m doing a paper on cardiovascular diseases, and I’m not sure I understand the difference between coronary heart disease & ischemic heart disease. Aren’t they both caused by a lack of blood/oxygen to the heart?? Please explain!!!
Usually when someone is diagnosed with high blood pressure, a doctor will either put the patient on a Beta Blocker or Calcium Channel Blocker if it’s a heart problem or a Diuretic if it’s a fluid problem.
My question is — How does the doctor differentiate between a heart problem that causes high blood pressure or a fluid problem that causes high blood pressure?
