Coronary artery atherosclerosis occurs when fatty deposits, known as plaques, build up in the coronary arteries, narrowing them and reducing blood flow to the heart. This can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and other cardiovascular complications. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medication, and in severe cases, procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery.
