FAQ - Coronary Health

What is coronary heart disease?
Coronary heart disease is when the coronary arteries develop into narrowed or clogged with plaque deposits on the inside wall. The narrowing of the arteries reduces flow of blood to the heart and increases the chances of a blood clot blocking the artery, resulting in a heart attack.

What causes coronary heart disease?
Coronary heart disease is caused by narrowing of the inside walls of the coronary arteries. This narrowing decreases and sometimes completely cuts off the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. Narrowing of the inside walls usually happens when a person has high levels of cholesterol, a fat-like substance, in the blood. Cholesterol and fat, flowing in the blood, builds up on the walls of the arteries. The buildup thickens the arteries and can slow or block the circulation of blood. When the level of cholesterol in the blood is high, there is a greater possibility that it will be deposited onto the artery walls. High blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking doubles your chance of developing heart disease. Obesity increases the possibility of developing high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure, and physical inactivity increases the risk of heart attack.

What are the symptoms of coronary heart disease?
Early signs of coronary heart disease include chest pain or shortness of breath. A person may feel burning, tightness, heaviness, pain, pressure, or squeezing, usually in your chest but sometimes also in the arms, neck, or jaws. However, some people can have heart attacks without ever having any of these symptoms.
