Coronary Artery disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent condition that affects the heart's major blood vessels, leading to serious health issues such as heart attacks and angina. The diagnosis of CAD involves identifying symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath, and using diagnostic tools such as coronary angiography, stress testing, and ECG tests.
