What is the disease originating in the arteries surrounding the heart?

The disease originating in the arteries surrounding the heart is called coronary artery disease (CAD). It occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, which is made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain (angina) or even heart attacks. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, and Diabetes.
