coronary

Pertaining to heart

Coronary relates to the heart, specifically the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle: coronary artery disease, coronary bypass surgery.

As a noun, coronary is shorthand for a coronary thrombosis—a blood clot blocking a coronary artery, causing a heart attack.

Informally, having a coronary means reacting with extreme agitation: My mother will have a coronary when she sees this mess.
