Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronary arteries supply the myocardium (heart muscle tissue) with nutrients, including oxygen and glucose, necessary for its proper function. A cardiac-prudent diet and exercise routine can prevent the development and progression of coronary artery disease by reducing the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, thus optimizing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the myocardium. While medications can also be effective in managing risk factors for coronary artery disease, lifestyle modifications are considered the cornerstone of prevention.
