Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as Coronary heart disease (CHD) or ischaemic heart disease, is a condition that occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle (coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked. This narrowing or blockage can reduce blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to various cardiovascular problems.
