Coronary artery disease is caused by the build-up of plaque in the arterial walls, which causes narrowing of the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart. Plaque accumulation begins early in life and can affect the elasticity of the arteries. However, it does not affect the veins, and it does not build up in the myocardial tissue itself.
