Coronary heart disease can cause angina and heart attacks and is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in the world. The word ‘coronary’ refers to the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with vital oxygen and nutrients; when they become narrowed with fat and cholesterol, a clot can form and block one of the arteries causing a heart attack.
