Paging all health care professionals with half a brain. (And that should mean the vast, vast majority of you health care professionals.) Especially all cardiologists. Especially especially my cardiology instructor from back in the day, Dr. Milner.
If I read or hear another mention of "coronary heart disease," I'm goin' medieval on the fool. Look here:
coronary (adj) 1. of or pertaining to the heart.
"Coronary heart disease" is an obnoxious, stupid redundancy. It's like saying "heart heart disease." Some might argue this point:
coronary (adj) 2. pertaining to the arteries that supply the heart tissues and originate in the root of the aorta.
And they say, "See? It's heart disease that's specific to the coronary arteries!" I guess that's to differentiate from conditions like cardiomegaly or endocarditis. So, okay. That makes sense. Kind of.
BUT.
If it's disease that has struck the coronary arteries, then just say so. Coronary artery disease. Not so hard, is it? Saying "coronary heart disease" just makes you look dumb. At least to this health care professional.

As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from Ischemic Heart Disease, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My wife suffered Ischemic Heart Disease in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she always complain of shortness of breath, and she always have swelling in her abdomen . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to Ischemic Heart Disease . I never imagined Ischemic Heart Disease. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine.
