Solution

Ischemic Heart disease:

  1. Ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease is the deadliest disease in the world.
  2. It occurs when the blood vessel that supplies blood to the heart is blocked or narrowed.
  3. The blockage or narrowing of blood is due to the deposition of fatty plaques in the blood vessel.
  4. When fat deposits in the blood vessel it makes the blood vessel narrow and supplies less blood to the heart than required.
  5. This increases pressure and leads to angina, heart attack, or stroke.
  6. Thus, it became a leading cause of death and is estimated to take 17.9 million deaths/year.
