Coronary Heart disease (CHD) occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, which consists of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This process, known as atherosclerosis, restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to symptoms such as chest pain and, in severe cases, heart attacks. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, Diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Over time, these factors contribute to the progression of CHD.
