Description

The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that circulate blood to the heart. The narrowing or blockage of these arteries is known as coronary artery disease. It is caused by atherosclerosis, wherein, there is a build-up of cholesterol and fatty deposits, called plaque, inside the arteries. Plaque clogs the arteries, limiting the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart, resulting in chest pain or a heart attack. There are three main types of coronary heart disease, namely, obstructive coronary artery disease, nonobstructive coronary artery disease, and coronary microvascular disease. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of coronary artery disease. Its aim is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
