Heart disease

Heart disease describes many heart conditions. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common of these conditions and occurs when blood vessels in your heart become blocked or narrowed, preventing oxygen-rich blood from reaching your heart. It can cause chest pain called angina or even a heart attack.
