   Coronary artery disease is characterized by heart problems that result from atherosclerosis. [34] Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis which is the "chronic inflammation of the arteries which causes them to harden and accumulate cholesterol plaques (atheromatous plaques) on the artery walls". [ 35 ]

3. Coronary occlusion - Wikipedia

4. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

   Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of coronary ischemia. [7] Coronary ischemia and coronary artery disease are contributors to the development of heart failure over time. [ 10 ] Diagnosis of coronary ischemia is achieved by an attaining a medical history and physical examination in addition to other tests such as ...

5. Ischemic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cardiomyopathy

   Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. [4] Typically, patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have a history of acute myocardial infarction, [5] however, it may occur in patients with coronary artery disease, but without a past history of acute myocardial infarction.

   Other, less common, causes of acute coronary syndrome include spontaneous coronary artery dissection, [14] ischemia in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA), and myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA).

8. Angina - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

   The main mechanism of coronary artery obstruction is atherosclerosis as part of coronary artery disease. Other causes of angina include abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure and, less commonly, anemia. [4] The term derives from Latin angere 'to strangle' and pectus 'chest', and can therefore be translated as "a strangling feeling in the chest".

9. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

   Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma, within the artery wall due to a tear in the wall.
