Over the past decades the term Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) epitomized the involvement of the epicardial coronary circulation in the atherosclerotic disease process, classically in conjunction with the visualization of luminal narrowing by angiography. However, a disease state of the coronary arteries ...
will order the least invasive test possible to determine whether coronary artery disease is present. Although heart catheterization is the gold standard to define the anatomy of the heart and to confirm heart disease diagnosis (either with partial or complete blockage or no blockage), this is an ...

Heart disease (coronary artery disease) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Explore the types and causes, as well as treatment, prevention, and management strategies for those living with it.
hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal semi-dominant condition, characterized by excessive circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth that substantially accelerates the onset and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), classically coronary artery disease (CAD)....

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by the development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, which can sometimes be asymptomatic. Coronary heart disease (CHD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), encompasses conditions such as stable angina, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of mortality among adults in the United States. While common, it is preventable. CAD and its risk factors can be screened, identified, and treated early. Education and counseling can also help mitigate risk. This activity will review and...
