Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease and one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. Common symptoms include chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath, which result from reduced blood flow to the heart. If left untreated, CAD can lead to serious complications such as heart attacks.
In this video, Cardiologist Dr. Nadine Gauthier shares risk factors, symptoms, treatment options and how to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle.
