    Case Study

    Coronary artery disease is a chronic process that begins in adolescence and slowly progresses throughout life. Independent risk factors accelerate or modify a complex inflammatory process that ultimately manifests as fatty streaks, which build up gradually and irregularly in the large branches of the two main coronary arteries that encircle the heart and are the main source of its blood supply. This process is called atherosclerosis which leads to narrowing or hardening of the arteries. Complete occlusion of the blood vessel leads to a heart attack. Irreversible damage to the heart muscle can lead to scar tissue formation, cardiac dysfunction, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias or arrest.
