Understanding Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

Coronary Heart Disease, also known as Coronary Artery Disease, is a serious condition affecting the heart. It is characterized by:

  • Narrowing of Blood Vessels: The arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart become narrowed.
  • Reduced Blood Flow: This narrowing restricts blood flow to the heart muscle.

CHD can lead to various complications and health issues. Understanding the risk factors, symptoms, and management strategies is crucial for maintaining heart health.
