چکیده
The vessels that bring blood to the heart are called the coronary arteries. They are like narrow tubes. A fatty substance called plaque can build up in these arteries and make them narrow, so less blood gets to the heart. This is called coronary artery disease. If you have coronary artery disease, your heart isn't getting the blood and oxygen it needs to work like it should. Coronary artery disease can lead to serious health problems, including angina (pain or pressure in the chest) and heart attack.
