Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Diagnosis and treatment of narrowed heart arteries — the most common cause of chest pain and heart attacks.
What it is
Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries that supply blood to your heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). It is the most common form of heart disease and the leading cause of chest pain (angina) and heart attacks.
Why it matters
Left untreated, CAD can reduce blood flow to the heart — causing angina, shortness of breath, and, if an artery becomes fully blocked, a heart attack. Early diagnosis and treatment dramatically lower these risks.
How we diagnose & treat it
We evaluate CAD with EKG, stress testing, echocardiography, and, when needed, coronary angiography. Treatment is tailored to you — from medication, cholesterol and blood-pressure management, and lifestyle changes to minimally invasive angioplasty and stenting that restore blood flow.
