Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide‚ with >4.5 million deaths occurring

1 1. Briefly describe the pathophysiology of CAD (25 points) Coronary artery disease is one of the most prominent forms of heart disease. It occurs when the coronary arteries that supply the heart blood become narrowed‚ and eventually occluded. This narrowing typically takes place because of plaque build up due to cholesterol and other fatty substances being ingested‚ also called atherosclerosis. This thickening of the artery wall can take many years‚ eventually completely inhibiting blood flow
