What is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a condition in which the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or damaged. The supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle becomes narrowed or damaged. This typically occurs due to the gradual buildup of fatty deposits known as plaque, a process called atherosclerosis.

As plaque accumulates, blood flow to the heart becomes restricted. Over time, this can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, or, in severe cases, a heart attack caused by the complete blockage of an artery.

Common symptoms of CAD include:

Treatment for CAD focuses on restoring healthy blood flow and preventing further progression of the disease. Depending on severity, this may include lifestyle modifications, medications, angioplasty, or surgical procedures such as bypass surgery.
