Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Management by Dr. S.K. Tripathi, D.M. Cardiology

Expert Diagnosis and Treatment for Healthy Heart Arteries

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common and serious heart conditions where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, heart attacks. At our advanced cardiac care center, Dr. S.K. Tripathi, D.M. Cardiology and Professor of Cardiology, provides expert care for diagnosing, managing, and preventing CAD through cutting-edge treatments and personalized care plans.

What is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?

Coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaque) accumulate on the walls of the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. Over time, this can weaken the heart muscle and lead to angina, heart attacks, and heart failure if not treated effectively.

Why Managing CAD is Important

CAD is a leading cause of heart disease worldwide. Early detection and consistent management can prevent complications, reduce symptoms, and improve heart function. A healthy heart means a healthier life.
