CAD is also known as ischemic heart disease, which occurs when the blood vessels that supply the heart with the blood slim down and narrow. This disease may lead to unbearable chest pain, heart failure, and arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat).

CAD impacts 114.8 per 100.000 Americans every year. By improving health studies and providing more access to healthcare, the United States and Europe are helping to prevent this illness.

Unfortunately, the rates of CAD are still increasing worldwide because of many factors such as smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, etc (consult a doctor if you notice any of these symptoms).

By following a healthy diet and exercising daily, you will protect your heart from this disease.
