Coronary Heart Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is worth paying attention when chest discomfort, unusual fatigue, or shortness of breath with exertion appear. Coronary heart disease is related to the reduction of blood flow to the heart due to involvement of the arteries that nourish it.
What is it?: It is a heart condition in which the coronary arteries narrow or harden, which limits the blood supply to the heart muscle.
Common signs: Discomfort or tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, tiredness and, at times, pain that spreads to the arm, neck, or jaw.
Which specialist treats it?: The cardiologist is the go-to specialist, with support from the cardiovascular surgeon in certain cases. With intense or sudden chest pain, seek emergency care; for persistent discomfort, a timely cardiology evaluation is the most advisable course.
