Abstract

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is an important disease where the arteries and vessels supplying oxygen and nutrients to the heart are narrowed or blocked. Early diagnosis and recognition of CAD leads to its complete treatment. Drug therapy, angiography, coronary angioplasty, and in advanced cases, coronary artery bypass surgery restore the normal flow of blood to the heart muscle.
