 Coronary Artery Disease
Because the extent of coronary artery disease does not always match the severity and length of chest pain, it is important for patients with chest pain to have their symptoms evaluated promptly by a doctor.
If the problem is not discovered, the first symptom of coronary artery narrowing may be the severe chest pain of a heart attack.
There are two types of chest pain related to coronary artery disease &; stable angina and acute coronary syndrome.

Therefore, methods of assessing arterial stiffness are important in the modern management of cardiovascular disease, both in terms of risk assessment and therapeutics.
This conference will focus on the methods of assessing arterial stiffness and pressure wave reflections and their applications to clinical practice and research.
Pulse wave analysis is a rapidly developing technique which can be used for the accurate, non-invasive determination of pressure wave reflections.

 eMedicine - Coronary Artery Anomalies : Article by Andrew N Pelech, MD
Coronary arteries should be diligently sought in any patient presenting with cardiac dysfunction or in an older child presenting with activity-related chest pain.
Coronary arteries that arise ectopically usually course tangentially to the aortic wall or arise in close relationship to the commissure of the aortic valve.
Despite the position of the heart within the chest and the position of the great arteries as they arise from the heart, aortic and pulmonary valves normally have a single point of contact, with commissural apposition at this point.

 What Is Coronary Artery Disease?
Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart does not get enough blood.
Eventually, blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, and, because blood carries much-needed oxygen, the heart muscle is not able to receive the amount of oxygen it needs.

Plaque sometimes reduces blood flow to the heart muscle, which can cause chest pain (angina).

Plaques are covered with a fibrous cap, which may rupture if some trigger causes a surge in blood pressure or causes the artery to constrict.
