Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also known as Ischemic Heart Disease, is a condition where the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup (cholesterol and fat deposits).
This reduces blood flow to the heart muscle, causing chest pain (angina) or even a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
CAD is the most common cause of heart disease and a leading cause of death worldwide — but it is preventable and treatable with early diagnosis and lifestyle management.

Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease

1. Chest pain or pressure (angina), especially during physical activity or stress
2. Pain radiating to arm, neck, jaw, or back
3. Shortness of breath
4.Fatigue, dizziness, or sweating
5.Nausea or feeling of heaviness in the chest
Some people may have “silent CAD”, showing few or no symptoms until a heart attack occurs — regular screening is essential.
