What is Coronary Artery Disease?
Coronary Artery Disease caused by atherosclerosis is characterized by lesions development in arterial walls. These lesions may lead to narrowing of the arterial walls due to buildup of atheromatous plaque, which result in limiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to parts of the heart. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, immune cells, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Atherosclerosis generally starts when a person is young and worsens with age. Atherosclerosis is typically asymptomatic. The signs and symptoms only happen after severe narrowing or closure impedes blood flow to different organs enough to induce symptoms, example stroke or heart attack.
