Damage or disease in the heart's major blood vessels.

The usual cause is the build-up of plaque. This causes coronary arteries to narrow, limiting blood flow to the heart.

Coronary artery disease can range from no symptoms, to chest pain, to a heart attack.

Treatments include lifestyle changes, medication, angioplasty and surgery.

Symptoms : 

• Chest pain (angina) -  You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest. Activity or strong emotions can trigger angina. The pain usually goes away within minutes after the triggering event ends. In some people, especially women, the pain may be brief or sharp and felt in the neck, arm or back. 

• Shortness of breath -  You may feel like you can't catch your breath.

• Fatigue. If the heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, you may feel unusually tired.

• Heart attack. A completely blocked coronary artery will cause a heart attack. The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing chest pain or pressure, shoulder or arm pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. Women may have less typical symptoms, such as neck or jaw pain, nausea and fatigue. Some heart attacks don't cause any noticeable signs or symptoms.

When to consult a Doctor - 

If you think you're having a heart attack, immediately call 911 or your local emergency number. If you don't have access to emergency medical services, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only as a last option.

    Smoking or having high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity or a strong family history of heart disease makes you more likely to get coronary artery disease. If you're at high risk of coronary artery disease, talk to your health care provider. You may need tests to check for narrowed arteries and coronary artery disease.

 Type 2 diabetes is more common in people older than 40.
