"Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a condition where plaque buildup narrows coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart, potentially leading to chest pain, heart attack, or heart failure."
HEART RELATED PROBLEM
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
CAD is the most common heart problem. With CAD, you may get blockages in your coronary arteries — the vessels that supply blood to your heart. That can lead to a decrease in the flow of blood to your heart muscle, keeping it from getting the oxygen it needs. The disease usually starts as a result of atherosclerosis, a condition sometimes called hardening of the arteries.
Coronary heart disease can give you pain in your chest, called angina, or lead to a heart attack.
