Coronary Artery

 http://www.web-books.com/eLibrary/Medicine/Cardiovascular/Images/Athero.gif
Coronary artery disease signifies the contraction of arteries as a result of atherosclerosis. Due to the contraction of arteries, enough oxygen does not reach up to the heart muscles. When sufficient amount of oxygen is not received by the heart then it leads to pain in chest. This condition is named as Angina. The occurrence of heart attack is usual in case an artery is blocked completely.
