General Information
When coronary arteries of the heart become
hardened, narrow or blocked, the blood supply to the heart muscle becomes
insufficient or even stops, and causes myocardial infarction
(the heart muscles
become damaged for
lack of nutrients).
Clinical symptoms include myocardial
infarction, angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, and arrhythmia.
