Coronary artery disease is also known as atherosclerosis disease‚ coronary heart disease‚ or ischemic heart disease. It is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of deaths in the U.S in both men and women. When plaque builds up‚ they harden and narrow your coronary arteries‚ decreasing blood flow to your heart.

symptoms‚ management‚ and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The leading cause of heart attacks is CAD (Coronary Artery Disease). Cad occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries‚ the tubes that supply blood to the heart. After a while the plaque starts to build up and restricts the blood flow causing the muscles to work harder‚ this may sometimes cause some pain and discomfort. A heart attack occurs when the plaque totally blocks an artery. Doctors have many different ways to determine if

Coronary arteries supply the heart with a constant supply of blood. These arteries are essential‚ providing oxygen and nutrients that keep the heart constantly pumping. Arteries have three layers including the external layer‚ tunica external‚ middle layer‚ tunica media and the inner layer‚ called the tunica intima. The outer layer is made up of connective tissue with elastic and collagenous fibers. Tunica media is the thickest layer composed of smooth muscle and can change the diameter of the arteries
