This document discusses complications and prognosis of coronary heart disease. Common complications include heart failure, cardiac edema, arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation, hypotension, cardiogenic shock, and left ventricular dysfunction. Prognosis depends on factors like occlusion location and severity, collateral circulation, occlusion duration, and myocardial oxygen demand. Mortality rates are high, with 25% dying before reaching the hospital and total mortality between 15-30%, rising to 10-20% for those under 50 and about 20% for those over 50.

Depending on a few things 1. occlusion of the affected area 2. Collateral circulation 3. duration or time occlusion 4. total or partial occlusion 5. myocardial oxygen demand prognosis : 1. 25 % die before reaching hospital 2. Total mortality of 15-30 % 3. Mortality at age < 50 years 10-20 % 4. Mortality age > 50 years about 20 %
