Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronary atherosclerosis is a common underlying pathology in persons with coronary heart disease (CHD). It is estimated that over 90% of people with CHD have some degree of arterial narrowing due to atherosclerotic plaques in their coronary arteries. This can lead to decreased blood supply to the heart muscle, which can result in symptoms such as angina, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
