Q

§ It is a heart disease caused by impaired coronary blood flow
§ It is known as Ischemic Heart Disease
§ CAD can cause myocardial infarction (heart attack), arrhythmias, heart failure and sudden death.
§ Cause: atherosclerosis (thickening of the inside wall of the arteries due to deposition of fat-like substance)
ü When the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged, supply of blooded oxygenate the heart muscle is affected.
ü When there is decreased oxygen supply to the heart muscle,chest pain occurs(angina)
