Your coronary arteries supply blood and oxygen to your heart. If anything causes them to narrow, thicken or harden, it makes your heart work harder. Since your heart already works hard, beating 100,000 times a day, any more strain can be deadly over time. Coronary artery disease refers to often preventable conditions that may result in a heart attack.
Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle build-up with plaque-causing narrowing and lack of blood supply and oxygen. This condition can result in angina or chest discomfort and may eventually lead to a heart attack. Non-invasive testing can detect this condition.
Every year more than 370,000 Americans die from coronary artery disease, the most common form of heart disease globally. It’s the root cause of many other heart conditions, such as congestive heart failure and heart attacks. When it’s diagnosed, you need a complete medical examination by one of the best cardiologists at Manhattan Cardiology. Your local cardiac specialist or Dr. Reisman, a leading cardiologist in Manhattan, New York, needs to assess if and how much your arteries are damaged.
Your coronary arteries supply blood to your heart muscle—coronary artery disease results in compromised blood vessels. High cholesterol and fatty deposits called plaque build up in your coronary arteries, restricting blood flow.
The build-up takes years to develop, and you only experience signs of coronary artery disease when your arteries are damaged. Signs that your coronary arteries are blocked include:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue and weakness
- Nausea and dizziness
- Palpitations
- Arrhythmia
