Coronary Artery Disease

It is the disease of the coronary arteries, which are the arteries that nourish the heart with oxygen. The arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis decrease the blood flow in these arteries, which causes a cardiac muscle pain - angina (chest pain). When the obstruction worsens, can occur Myocardial Infarction.
Factors that predispose to coronary heart disease: hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and high-fat diet.
