Coronary heart disease is usually caused by a condition called [[atherosclerosis]], which occurs when fatty material and other substances form a plaque build-up on the walls of arteries. As the coronary arteries narrow, blood flow to the heart can slow down or stop. This can cause chest pain ([[Chronic stable angina|stable angina]]), [[shortness of breath]], [[heart attack]], and other symptoms, usually during activity. | |||
