Question

Is coronary artery disease curable?

Answer 1

Generally, coronary artery disease can not be cured.

Coronary artery disease:

1. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common type of heart disease. The heart's major blood vessels (coronary arteries) struggle to deliver enough blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the muscle. Coronary artery disease is usually caused by cholesterol deposits (plaques) in the heart arteries and inflammation.
2. Pain or discomfort in the chest (angina), weakness, light-headedness, nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), cold sweat, discomfort or pain in the arms or shoulders, and breathing problems.
3. Although coronary heart disease cannot be cured, treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications like heart attacks.
4. Treatment may include changes in one's lifestyle, such as regular exercise and quitting smoking.
