Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease is also called coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries become blocked with fatty substance called plaque. Fat, calcium, cholesterol and other materials in the blood forms the plaque and if it builds up on the inner wall of the arteries, it makes them to become narrow. This is called atherosclerosis and the blood supply to the heart muscle is reduced. As a result, blood clots are formed in the narrowed artery and the supply of oxygen rich blood to a part of the heart is completely stopped.

Risks of coronary heart disease:

1. Angina: When the blood flow into the heart is decreased, the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the heart muscles is impaired. As a result, a discomfort, pressure, aching or painful feeling in the chest may occur (angina) and it is the main risk of coronary heart disease.
2. Heart attack: When the blood flow into a section of heart muscle is completely stopped, the heart attack occurs. So the part of the heart starts to die, but a quick treatment can restore the blood and can save the life.

Sometimes, this disease may even lead to death.
