Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Stable coronary artery disease is the build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply the heart. The stable form means the narrowing is present and predictable rather than actively producing an emergency.
Key points
- Over time, plaque can narrow the coronary arteries enough to trigger a heart attack or an ischaemic stroke.
- Coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease are terms health care professionals use interchangeably.
