Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a disease of heart vessels that causes atherosclerosis and its manifestations. Atherosclerosis is defined as the thickening of vessel walls due to the deposition of fat and cholesterol inside it. Thickening causes the lumen of these vessels to narrow, obstructing blood flow and hence oxygen flow. Depending upon the extent of narrowing, various manifestations such as angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, etc., can be caused.
