The coronary arteries are responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle, ensuring its proper function.

High blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity are all significant risk factors for developing CAD.

Chest pain or discomfort, also known as angina, is the most prevalent symptom of CAD.

Coronary angiography is the definitive diagnostic test for CAD, allowing visualization of the coronary arteries and identification of any blockages.

Medications, lifestyle changes, PCI, and CABG are all common treatment options for CAD, depending on the severity and extent of the disease.

Lifestyle changes in CAD management aim to reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, improve blood sugar control, and promote overall heart health.

PCI aims to widen narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, improve blood flow to the heart muscle, and prevent future heart attacks.

Stable angina typically occurs during physical exertion and resolves with rest, while unstable angina can occur at rest or with minimal exertion and is more likely to lead to a heart attack.

Statins are medications that lower cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, and pain in the arm, neck, or back are all common symptoms of a heart attack.

Individuals with CAD are advised to limit their daily intake of saturated fat to less than 5% of their total calories.

Individuals with CAD are recommended to maintain a blood pressure goal of less than 130/80 mmHg.

Age is a non-modifiable risk factor for CAD, as the risk of developing the disease increases with age.

Individuals with CAD are advised to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, or a combination of both.

CABG aims to create new pathways for blood flow to the heart muscle, improve blood flow, and prevent future heart attacks.
