The blockage harms part of the heart muscle because it is no longer getting oxygen from the blood. Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. Occasionally, a heart attack can be caused by a spasm, or tightening, of a coronary artery. Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. CHD is a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside of the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. * X-Rays, blood tests and other various scans may have to be executed in the diagnosis process. * Life-style changes and surgery are the only possible ways for improvement.
