What is CAD?
• Condition in which plague builds up inside coronary arteries. This blocks the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
• Plague can be made of fat, calcium, cholesterol, and other substances.
• Smoking, high blood pressure, and high fat/cholesterol and sugar in blood are causes.

• Echocardiography – uses ultrasound, most often used
• Nuclear cardiac imaging – uses radioactive isotopesInvasive• Cardiac catheterization – catheter is put in veins to alleviate
obstruction
• Electrophysiology – induces shocks into heart
