Coronary Artery Disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply to heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.
The coronary arteries supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to heart. A buildup of plaque can narrow these arteries, decreasing blood flow to heart. Eventually, the reduced blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack.
If coronary arteries narrow, they can't supply enough oxygen-rich blood to heart — especially when it's beating hard, such as during exercise. At first, the decreased blood flow may not cause any symptoms. As plaque continues to build up in coronary arteries,following coronary artery disease signs and symptoms may develop
Coronary Artery Disease is thought to begin with damage or injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery, sometimes as early as childhood. The damage may be caused by various factors, including:
Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, fatty deposits (plaque) made of cholesterol and other cellular waste products tend to collect at the site of injury. This process is called atherosclerosis. If the plaque surface breaks or ruptures, blood cells called platelets clump together at the site to try to repair the artery. This clump can block the artery, leading to a heart attack.
Risk factors for coronary artery disease include:
Sometimes coronary artery disease develops without any classic risk factors. Researchers are studying other possible risk factors, including:
Coronary artery disease can lead to:
