Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronary artery disease specifically refers to blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, which can lead to decreased oxygen and nutrients to the heart and potentially result in a heart attack. Congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, embolism, and phlebitis may also be associated with or contribute to coronary artery disease, but they do not specifically refer to blockage in the coronary circulation.
