  • What Is Coronary Artery Disease?

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease that results from damage to the large arteries, called the coronary arteries, that supply blood to the heart.

Over time, plaque buildup (deposits of cholesterol, a waxy, fatty substance) can get worse and restrict the amount of blood that is delivered to the heart, which can lead to a heart attack.
