5Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease is a condition that affects those arteries that transport to your heart muscles. It often occurs due to plaques or hardening in the blood vessels. This affects the process of carrying blood or even leads to a partial or complete obstruction. Since your heart muscle needs a constant supply of nutrients and oxygen to function properly, any obstruction would quickly result in serious issues, such as strokes and heart attacks. Many lifestyle factors might cause coronary artery disease, such as lack of exercise and smoking. Some medical conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure are major risk factors as well. [5]
