Coronary artery disease or Coronary heart disease is condition when there is a blockage of arteries by the accumulation of fatty substance affecting the blood supply to heart. In this condition the coronary artery is blocked and narrowed which affects blood flow as a result the heart receives fewer amounts of oxygenated blood and nutrients.

The causes of coronary heart disease include high cholesterol level, diabetes or any damage or injury to heart, metabolic disorder, stress, anxiety, depression, obesity, alcoholism and constant smoking, having foods rich in saturated and Trans fats, lack of physical activity etc.

Angina or chest pain is the most common symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina is characterized by discomfort, heaviness, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, squeezing feeling in heart. The chest migrates to other parts of the body like shoulder, arms, neck, back or jaw. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, irregular heart beat, weakness, nausea and sweating. Ischemia and heart attack may occur without any symptoms. The physician asks for the symptoms, medical history and risk factors and does a physical exam. ECG, CT scans, exercise stress test and blood tests are done to diagnose the condition.

The important step is to reduce the risk factors which involve making necessary changes in lifestyle habits. Avoiding alcohol and quitting smoking helps in preventing the damages to heart muscles. A low fat diet and low calorie diet will help to reduce the cholesterol level in blood. It is important to control other health complications like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity etc since they are the risk factors for coronary artery disease. Medications are prescribed to help the heart work more efficiently and to receive more oxygen. In severe cases surgeries like angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery are done to improve the function of the heart.
