Coronary Heart Disease
The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with blood flow
to carry the needed oxygen and nutrients to the heart tissue.
There are a total of three coronary artery branches.
Due mainly to a poor diet and inactive lifestyle, one
or more of these arteries can become blocked due
to plaque build-up. Diets high in fat and cholesterol
have been linked to this type of condition.
