Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels that supply the heart are constricted due to
plaque
build up in their linings. The plaque build up decreases the amount of blood supply to the heart which can cause
chest pain
(angina),
shortness of breath
,
extreme fatigue
and if the heart is cut off entirely a
heart attack
may occur. A
cardiologist
will determine whether you have coronary artery disease by taking a medical history, performing a medical exam and diagnostic tests. Tests include
electrocardiograms
(ECG),
cardiac MRI’s
and CT’s,
exercise stress tests
, blood tests, monitoring tests and invasive testing such as
cardiac catheterisation
.
