Coronary arteries are the small blood vessels. They are responsible for supplying the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. They can gradually become clogged. This buildup of fat and cholesterol plaque is called atherosclerosis. This can be cured by the surgery called Coronary artery bypass surgery. This is a treatment for ischemic heart disease. The earliest symptoms of ischemic heart disease include chest pain and shortness of breath. CAD varies so much from one person to another. Heart bypass surgery is just one treatment.
