The 32 pages that link to Coronary artery disease, each with the reason it gives.

• AtherosclerosisBroader topic: Atherosclerosis in coronary arteries is the usual cause of coronary artery disease.

• Heart failureRelated: Reduced coronary blood flow and prior infarction are major causes of impaired pumping.

• Cardiovascular diseaseBroader topic: It is a major cardiovascular disease and a frequent cause of heart attack.

• Myocardial infarctionNarrower topic: Atherosclerotic coronary disease is the most common underlying cause of infarction.

• Metabolic syndromeBroader topic: The syndrome’s risk factors increase the likelihood of coronary disease.

• Peripheral artery diseaseRelated: PAD often coexists with coronary disease and raises concern about heart attack risk.

• Endothelial dysfunctionRelated: Coronary endothelial dysfunction can precede or accompany plaque-related disease.

• Sudden cardiac deathRelated: It is the leading underlying disease associated with sudden cardiac death in adults.

• ArteryBroader topic: It shows how arterial obstruction can deprive a specific organ of oxygen.

• Angina pectorisRelated: Fixed coronary narrowing commonly limits blood supply during exertion.

• Ventricular fibrillationRelated: It can cause ischemia or infarction that triggers ventricular fibrillation.

• CardiomyopathyCompared with: Ischemic damage can weaken the heart, but it is distinct from primary cardiomyopathy.

• Coronary artery bypass surgeryNarrower topic: It is the disease bypass surgery treats when impaired coronary flow warrants revascularization.

• Acute coronary syndromeNarrower topic: Underlying coronary atherosclerosis is the usual substrate for acute coronary events.

• HeartRelated: It limits the blood supply that keeps the heart muscle functioning.

• Percutaneous coronary interventionNarrower topic: PCI treats selected obstructive effects of this underlying disease, not the disease itself.

• Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseaseBroader topic: It is the coronary form of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

• Secondhand smokeBroader topic: Secondhand smoke exposure increases the risk of coronary heart disease in nonsmokers.

• AmlodipineRelated: Amlodipine treats angina associated with this disease but does not remove coronary plaque.

• Blood vesselBroader topic: It shows how damage to one arterial network can cause organ-specific disease.

• Cardiovascular systemBroader topic: It limits oxygen delivery to the heart muscle itself.

• Cardiac surgeryRelated: It is a major reason patients undergo coronary bypass surgery.

• Valvular heart diseaseCompared with: It is another major cardiac disorder, but it impairs muscle blood supply rather than valve flow.

• AtorvastatinRelated: This common manifestation of atherosclerosis is a major target of risk reduction with atorvastatin.

• Ancel KeysRelated: It was the disease outcome at the center of Keys’s nutrition research.

• AngioplastyRelated: Coronary angioplasty can improve blood flow through affected heart arteries.

• Hypertensive heart diseaseRelated: Hypertension increases coronary risk, and coronary disease can coexist with hypertensive cardiac changes.

• ErgotamineRelated: Ergotamine's vasoconstrictive action can provoke dangerous cardiac ischemia in affected patients.

• SumatriptanRelated: Sumatriptan's vasoconstrictive potential makes coronary disease a major contraindication.

• Caldwell EsselstynRelated: This is the disease his dietary program is intended to prevent and treat.

• Health effects of smoking tobaccoBroader topic: Smoking accelerates coronary atherosclerosis and raises the risk of heart attack.

• Passive smokingRelated: Secondhand smoke can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease.
