What Is Coronary Artery Disease?

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a common but serious heart condition caused by the narrowing or blockage of arteries that supply blood to the heart. It is primarily due to atherosclerosis, where cholesterol, fat, and other substances build up on artery walls, forming plaque. This restricts blood and oxygen flow, increasing the risk of a heart attack.
