Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery Disease Treatment in Rock Hill, SC
Coronary artery disease happens when major blood vessels connecting to your heart become damaged. This type of heart disease is often caused by plaque buildups in the arteries, creating inflammation and narrowing blood vessels. Typically, the reduced blood flow to the heart will cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and other similar symptoms. In extreme cases, the arteries can become completely blocked and cause a heart attack.

Coronary Artery Disease Information
Plaque building up in your arteries causes the blood vessels to narrow and makes it more difficult to get blood and oxygen to your heart, especially during strenuous activity. Coronary artery disease will develop as the buildup worsens and your arteries become more stressed and inflamed.
Chest pressure or tightness, general chest pain, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue with physical activity could signify that your arteries are damaged. Several risk factors can cause arterial damage, including:
- Smoking
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Diabetes or Insulin Resistance
- Sedentary Lifstyle
- High Stress
- Unhealthy Diet
- Age
- Sex
- Family History of Heart Disease
Coronary artery disease, if left untreated, can lead to a heart attack when the damage to the arteries causes complete blockage of the blood vessel. Contact our knowledgeable physicians today to learn more about coronary artery disease and determine if you could be at risk.
