coronary disease
Cardiac artery blockage
Coronary disease refers to conditions affecting the coronary arteries—the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen.
The most common form involves plaque buildup that narrows these arteries, reducing blood flow and potentially causing chest pain, heart attacks, or heart failure.
His father died of coronary disease at fifty-two.
Often called coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease.
