Expert Coronary Artery Disease Treatment
Dr. Chandrashekar Nagegowda provides comprehensive management of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, leading to reduced blood flow and potentially heart attack.
Understanding Coronary Artery Disease
CAD is caused by atherosclerosis - the buildup of plaque (fat, cholesterol, and other substances) in the coronary arteries. This narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
Risk Factors for CAD
- High Blood Pressure: Damages artery walls
- High Cholesterol: Contributes to plaque buildup
- Diabetes: Accelerates atherosclerosis
- Smoking: Damages blood vessels
- Obesity: Increases heart workload
- Sedentary Lifestyle: Weakens heart muscle
