What does CAD stand for?

• A. Central Arterial Deterioration
• B. Coronary Artery Disease
• C. Chronic Arrhythmic Disorder
• D. Cardiac Arterial Deficiency

Answer: (B)

Coronary Artery Disease is a heart condition where the arteries that supply the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow to the heart. This can cause chest pain (angina) and increases the risk of heart attack. The other terms aren’t standard medical descriptions for this condition: they don’t refer to the specific disease of the coronary arteries. That makes Coronary Artery Disease the correct expansion.
