You can have coronary artery disease without having ischemic heart disease.
Ischemic heart disease is a result of coronary artery disease.
The heart muscle can become weakened as a result of severe plaque build-up in the heart arteries which may lead to a heart attack. Sometimes, this can cause damage to the heart muscle. Once that tissue is necrotic or dead, it won't ever pump again like it once did, despite revascularization or medicinces. This is ischemic heart disease.
On the other hand, you can have mild plaque buildup in the arteries of the heart that does not limit blood flow to the heart muscle. You can have coronary artery disease that requires angioplasty and stenting or even bypass surgery, and still have preserved heart function. This would be coronary artery disease, but not ischemic heart disease.
Hope this helps.

yes. CAD (coronary heart disease) is an abnormal condition caused by a blockage in a coronary artery wich supplies the heart blood and nurishes it if a coronary artery blocks more than something about 60 % it may cause an ischemi in a part of the heart`s muscle and thus an ischemic herat disease is observed

coronary heart disease is caused by the narrowin of da coronary arteries due to cholestrol accumulation in its wall resultin in decreased oxygen supply to that particular area.dis is called ischaemia. ischaemic heart disease is therefore any cause which results in decreased oxygen supply.eg atherosclerosis,thrombus(platelet accumulation).throboembolus,or deformaties in arteries due to other disease(a secondary effect of other disease).........

My Mom had severe congestive heart disease and I thought I should know this.
I searched it and the two words are used together, so apparently they refer to the same condition.

ischemia is lack of oxygen reaching to heart muscle and it does not reach as arteries are blocked. So it is same thing in my opinion. When arteries will open and oxygen reaches the heart muscle the ischemia will disappear.

It's cause and effect of the same thing.
