Coronary artery disease is a disorder that involves accumulation of plaque in the arteries, which either narrows or blocks these arteries. This in turn affects the supply of blood to the heart.

Some of the signs of chronic CAD are:

Stable angina: The most prevalent form of chest pain is stable angina. Temporary cardiac pain or soreness that occurs and disappears at regular intervals is called stable angina.

Dyspnea: Some individuals experience dyspnea, or shortness of breath, even when engaging in relatively mild physical exercise.

A heart attack:

• Problems inhaling or a feeling of being short of breath.
• Experiencing vertigo or dizziness.
• Palpitating heart
• Tiredness.

• Coronary artery disease is brought about by atherosclerosis. Plaque builds up over time in vessels, causing atherosclerosis and making the vessels constricted and inflexible. Cholesterol, toxins, calcium, and fibrin make up plaque.
• Plaque has the potential to clog or harm your vessels, reducing or preventing blood movement to a given area of your body. Plaque in the coronary vessels reduces blood flow to the cardiac muscle.
• Plaque accumulation in the coronary arteries is associated with atherosclerosis, which can also occur in other vessels. Carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease are two potential outcomes.

The following are other potential contributors to coronary artery disease besides elevated cholesterol.

• Insulitis, or intolerance to insulin
• Hypertension
• Lack of physical activity
• Tobacco and cigarette use

The following will help reduce your chance of developing coronary artery disease and stop its progression:

• Resolve to end your use of nicotine products entirely
• Maintain a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol
• Be sure to get enough rest
• Uphold a reasonable weight
• Get your heart disease risk assessed
• Reduce your drinking
• Get out and about more
• Take your medicine as directed
