Triple vessel disease is
a severe form of coronary artery disease in which all three major coronary
arteries become narrowed or blocked due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup.
These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, so reduced blood
flow can cause chest pain, breathlessness, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance.
In some patients, the condition may also lead to sweating, nausea,
palpitations, or even a heart attack.
The risk of triple-vessel
disease increases with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and a family history of heart disease.
Diagnosis is usually confirmed through tests such as electrocardiography,
stress testing, echocardiography, and coronary angiography. Treatment depends
on the severity of the blockage and the patient’s overall health. It may include
medicines to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and clot formation,
along with lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, regular physical
activity, smoking cessation, and weight management. In many cases,
procedures such as angioplasty with stenting or coronary artery
bypass grafting are needed to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of
complications. Early detection and timely treatment are essential to protect
heart function and improve long-term outcomes.
