Disease of the arteries surrounding the heart?
Coronary heart disease, cad
What is the abbreviation for arteriosclerotic heart disease?
CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) or PAD (peripheral artery disease)
Which disease of the circulatory system contributes the both stroke and heart attack?
coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
What are the different types of heart disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type and is the leading cause of heart attacks. When you have CAD, your arteries become hard and narrow. Blood has a hard time getting to the heart, so the heart does not get all the blood it needs. CAD can lead to: Angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when the heart does not get enough blood. Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Heart Attack Arrhythmia or Irregular Heart Rhythm Atrial Fibrillation Heart Valve Disease Congenital Heart Disease Cardiomyopathy (Heart Muscle Disease) Dilated Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Cardiomegaly (Enlarged Heart) Pericarditis Pericardial Effusion Marfan Syndrome Heart Murmurs
What is the disorder called that results from blocked blood flow to the heart?
Cornary Artery Disease (CAD)
Medical terminology for coronary artery disease?
Coronary Artery Disease or CAD is also sometimes called Atherosclerotic heart disease or cardiovascular disease (AHD or ACD).

What can cause Heart diseases?
a high fat diet can couse several Heart diseases.
How can heart disease damage your heart?
Heart disease can damage the heart in different ways depending on the disease. In CAD (Coronary Artery Disease), blockages in the lumen of the arteries can cause areas of the coronary muscle to shut down due to lack of oxygenation. If the plaques continue to build up in the heart's blood vessels, more coronary muscle shuts down. Undetected, this could lead to death as the heart does not have the strength to pump blood through the body.
What age group is mostly at risk for CAD?
Coronary artery disease occurs, increasingly, in those over the age of 50. However, CAD (including heart attacks) have occurred in those in their 40s, 30s, and even 20s.
