Stable Cardiovascular Disease

Meaning

Stable Cardiovascular Disease designates a chronic medical condition characterized by the presence of atherosclerotic plaque within the arterial walls, which has reached a non-acute, quiescent state, typically without recent changes in symptoms or signs of active plaque rupture. This implies a consistent pattern of symptoms, often exertional, or the absence of symptoms entirely, indicating that the heart muscle’s oxygen demand is met at rest and during mild activity.
