Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart / cardiac muscles (coronary arteries) become hardened and/or narrowed. This occurs due to the buildup of plaque on the inner walls or lining of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Blood flow to the heart is reduced as plaque narrows the coronary arteries. This #decreases the oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
