Heart disease does not kill people. Heart attacks do. Appreciating this distinction is critical to understanding heart disease. Heart disease is the presence of plaque or atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. In this instance, a heart attack.

Why do arteries block? Arteries generally narrow and occlude for one of two reasons: The progressive accumulation of plaque. A plaque ruptures, and a clot forms in the artery, thereby occluding it. The second reason is commonly referred to as a ‘Heart Attack’ or acute coronary syndrome.

Some groups will state that any heart events at less than 55 years of age for males and less than 65 for females define early heart disease. A heart attack in a 56-year-old male is early in anyone's books. However, the above age cut-offs give a good idea of what we consider the early presentation of heart disease.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death globally: one in four people lose their lives to CAD annually. Coronary arteries provide the heart with the oxygen-rich blood that it needs to function, carrying away oxygen-depleted blood.

Poor blood supply Ischemia, or inadequate blood supply to the heart, is an abnormality that can be detected in an ECG test. ECG tests can also show previous heart attacks.
