Coronary heart disease, along with stroke and blood vessel disease, belongs to the group of conditions known as cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in most countries, including Malaysia.

When the arteries that supply your heart muscle with blood and oxygen become blocked with fatty material known as plaque, coronary heart disease may develop. Atherosclerosis is the name of this process. It may begin when you are young and may be far along by the time you are in your middle years.

Angina symptoms can develop if your arteries become blocked or too small, making it difficult for blood and oxygen to reach your heart muscle and resulting in chest pain. A heart attack may result if a blood clot develops in the constricted artery and stops the blood flow to a portion of your heart. This could lead to a stroke if it affects the arteries that carry blood to the brain.

How can you live a longer, healthier life?

You may be able to prevent or delay heart disease through lifestyle changes. The basics include avoiding smoking and other tobacco products, limiting alcohol, eating a heart-healthy diet and exercising. Besides that, it is also important to keep a healthy weight and manage risk factors like high blood pressure. 

But, there is more you can do to improve your heart health.
