What does TVCAD mean in DISEASES

TVCAD stands for Triple Vessel Coronary Artery Disease which is a condition that occurs when there are blockages in three of the major coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. People with this condition may experience chest pain and other symptoms related to decreased oxygen supply to their heart muscle.

Risk factors for Triple Vessel Coronary Artery Disease include smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity and physical inactivity. Other medical conditions such as kidney or liver impairment can also increase an individual's risk for developing this disorder.

TVCAD is typically diagnosed through various lab tests such as angiography or cardiac catheterization. These tests allow doctors to get a better view of any narrowing or blockages present in the major coronary arteries which provide blood flow to the heart muscle.

Treatment options for this condition may vary depending on the severity of each individual case but commonly includes lifestyle modifications (e.g., quitting smoking, exercising regularly), medications (e.g., aspirin, statins), and surgical procedures (e.g., bypass surgery).

Potential complications of untreated Triple Vessel Coronary Artery Disease include a reduced quality of life due to chest pain and fatigue, arrhythmia due to changes in cardiac electrical activity, congestive heart failure due to inability ofthe heart muscle to pump effectively, and increased risk of stroke or heart attack due vascular damage caused by decreased oxygen supply from blocked arteriesovascular damage caused by decreased oxygen supply from blocked arteris.
