  1. coronary-artery disease

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common heart disease characterized by a build-up of plaque, a waxy substance, on the inner walls of the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscles. This build-up of plaque, a condition known as atherosclerosis, can restrict blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. If a blood clot forms in an artery, it can cause a heart attack. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
