Angina or severe chest pain is the most common and significant manifestation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) seen as a result of stress-induced pain, emotional trauma, and primarily due to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart.

Coronary Artery Disease is a slow process that occurs due to the accumulation of plaque in the arteries of the heart. Sticky substances like cholesterol, calcium deposits, and waste remnants of the body cells cause plaque formation. This causes blockage or spasm in big and small blood vessels of the heart and reduces smooth blood flow in the heart.

Plaque formation generally causes breakage of the blood vessels. As the body’s defense mechanism, clot formation that occurs for natural healing of the blood vessels causes heart stroke.

1. Smoking:
Nicotine consumption in the form of active, passive, or tobacco chewing is one of the strongest causes of CAD in India.

2. High Lipid Profile:
An Increase in cholesterol, LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) and reduction in HDL (High-Density lipoprotein) increases the risk of CAD.

3. Diabetes Mellitus:
High blood glucose levels and imbalance in lipid profile causes heart diseases as a secondary complication.

Blood pressure above 140/90mm Hg is an indication of high-risk hypertension, a common risk factor for the development of CAD.
