What does coronary atherosclerotic heart disease mean?

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is a heart disease caused by stenosis or occlusion of coronary arteries.

The disease is mainly caused by plaque deposition on the walls of coronary arteries. Common risk factors include age, heredity, smoking, obesity, lack of activity, excessive stress, etc. At the same time, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases will also increase the risk of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is generally not completely cured, but most patients can delay the progression of the disease and reduce the number of attacks of angina pectoris after systematic treatment.
