Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Simplified Chinese. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) 冠状动脉疾病 (CAD) Coronary artery disease is also called heart disease or atherosclerosis. It is caused by the build up of fatty deposits called plaque in the blood vessels of the heart. The heart must get oxygen and nutrients to work well. Blood carries the oxygen and nutrients to the heart through the blood vessels called arteries. As the plaque builds up in the blood vessels, blood flow to the heart muscle is decreased. When blood flow is decreased, chest pain, shortness of breath, or other signs may occur. If the blood flow is stopped or blocked, it causes a heart attack. 冠状动脉疾病也称为心脏病或动脉硬化 症，是由于心脏血管中称作斑块的脂肪 积聚物而引起。 心脏必须得到氧气和营养才能良好运 作。血液将氧气和营养通过称为动脉的 血管带到心脏。斑块在血管中积聚之 时，通往心肌的血流量便减少。血流量 减少可引起胸痛、气短或其他症状。如 果血流停止或堵塞，会引起心脏病发 作。 前侧 后侧 右冠状动脉 主动脉 右冠状动脉 主动脉 左冠状动脉 旋动脉 旋动脉 FRONT BACK Right Coronary Artery Aorta Right Coronary Artery Aorta Left Coronary Artery Circumflex Artery Circumflex Artery 2Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
