Chest pain occuring when the heart's supply of blood carrying oxygen and energy-rich nutrients is insufficient to meet the demands of the heart.
|
|
|
atherosclerosis
|
A common form of arteriosclerosis involving deposits of fatty, cholesterol0containing material (plaquest) within arterial walls.
|
|
|
chronic stable angina
|
Chest pain that has as its primary cause atheroslerosis, which results in a longt-term but relatively stable leverl of obstructionin o one or more coronary arteries.

coronary arteries
|
Arteries that deliver oxygen to the heart muscle.
|
|
|
CAD - coronary artery disease
|
Any one of the abnormal conditions that can affect the arteriies of the heart and produce various pathologic effects, especially a reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium.

|
ischemic heart disease
|
