Coronary artery disease: prevention and treatment methods
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where the blood vessels supplying the heart (called coronary arteries) become narrowed due to a build-up of fatty deposits, known as plaque. This can limit the blood flow to the heart, potentially leading to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or even a heart attack. Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent CAD or manage it if you've already been diagnosed. Renowned consultant cardiologist Dr Jonathan Hasleton explores the various prevention and treatment methods for this disease.
