Coronary Artery Disease
- Angina
Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle doesn't get enough blood.
- Angiography
Coronary angiography is an x-ray procedure to examine the arteries of your heart. The purpose of the test is to obtain vital information about the severity and position of any narrowing in the coronary arteries.
- Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis is when fats build up on the inside wall of the arteries causing narrowing of the blood vessel, which slows the blood flow.
