What Is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease, occurring when the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque - a combination of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This restricts blood flow, which can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or more serious complications such as heart attacks. CAD often develops over time and may go unnoticed until symptoms arise or an emergency occurs. Early detection, lifestyle changes, and proper medical care can significantly reduce the risks and improve heart health.

How Is Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosed?

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests. Doctors begin by evaluating symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, as well as reviewing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and family history. Diagnostic tests may include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess heart rhythm, stress testing to monitor the heart during physical activity, and imaging tests such as echocardiograms or coronary CT angiography to visualize blood flow and blockages. In some cases, a coronary angiogram, a procedure using dye and X-rays, is performed to provide a detailed view of the coronary arteries. Early diagnosis is essential for effective management and reducing the risk of serious complications like heart attacks.

What Are the Treatments and Therapies for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?

Treatment and therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) focus on improving blood flow to the heart, relieving symptoms, and preventing further complications. Depending on the severity of the condition, options may include lifestyle changes, medications, and medical procedures. Lifestyle modifications such as, adopting a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and managing stress are essential for long-term heart health. Medications may be prescribed to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, prevent blood clots, or relieve chest pain. In more advanced cases, procedures like angioplasty with stent placement or coronary artery bypass surgery may be recommended to restore proper blood flow. A personalized treatment plan is crucial and often involves a combination of therapies to effectively manage the disease and improve quality of life.
