Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a type of heart disease caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, cholesterol deposits lodge themselves in the walls of these arteries, which can blocks off blood flow and cause chest pain. While this leads to many heart complications, feeling the pain at times is not a heart attack. It does require surgery, though, so it’s best to contact your doctor.
