What is Tripple Vessel Disease ?
Triple vessel disease is an extreme form of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the large blood vessels that supply the heart are damaged or diseased. Plaque (cholesterol buildup) and inflammation are the two main causes of his CHD.
Small deposits of plaque do not block blood flow to the heart, but large deposits of plaque can greatly reduce or even block blood flow to the heart. can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and even heart attack.
Most CAD can seriously affect only one of the major coronary arteries, but triple vessel disease, as its name suggests, affects the three major vessels that supply the heart (the left anterior descending artery). circumflex artery, left circumflex artery, right coronary artery). The left ventricle also has decreased systolic function.
- Triple vessel disease is usually caused by atherosclerosis, hardening or occlusion of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is caused by plaques formed by cholesterol, calcium, or fatty deposits on the inner wall of arteries.
- These plaques can physically narrow or clog arteries, reducing blood flow to heart tissue and adversely affecting arterial tone and function. In addition, reduced blood supply limits heart tissue from receiving the amount of oxygen and vital nutrients it needs for proper function. A heart attack can occur when the heart's energy needs are not met by the incoming blood supply.
- Atherosclerosis can develop in any artery in the body, including other major organs. Pieces of plaque can also break off and cause blood clots. If left untreated, this disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
- Chest pain

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the treatment of choice for diabetic patients with triple vessel disease (TVD). If the patient has her TVD but is asymptomatic, the dilemma is whether to continue medical management or choose revascularization. The patient in this case report was completely asymptomatic despite risk factors for diabetes, resistant hypertension, and TVD. Because the left main coronary artery was involved, he underwent CABG to prevent sudden cardiac death.
