Overview

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. It is a chronic condition that affects the arteries that supply blood to the heart, causing them to become narrowed and hardened. This can lead to a heart attack, which occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart is completely cut off.

CHD is a serious condition, but it can be managed and prevented. With the right treatment and lifestyle changes, you can reduce your risk of developing CHD or having a heart attack.
