Abstract

The most prevalent kind of heart illness is coronary artery disease, or CAD. For both men and womenin the US, it is the main cause of death.
The arteries that provide blood to the heart muscle constrict and stiffen, leading to coronary artery disease (CAD). This results from the accumulation of plaque, a mixture of various materials and cholesterol, on their inside walls. The accumulation is known as atherosclerosis. Less blood can pass through the arteries as it gets bigger. The cardiac muscle is consequently unable to receive the blood or oxygen it requires. The majority of heart attacks result from a blood clot abruptly stopping the heart's blood flow, which permanently damages the heart. In addition to weakening the heart muscle over time, CAD can potentially cause arrhythmias and cardiac failure. Heart failure refers to a heart that is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body. Changes in the heart's regular beating rhythm are known as arrhythmias.

Keywords: Coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, arrhythmias, cardiac failure
