    This document outlines the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). It identifies predisposing factors like age, gender, and race and precipitating factors such as lifestyle, diet high in fat, smoking, alcohol, and diabetes mellitus. CAD occurs when fat deposits called atheroma build up in the arteries, attracting macrophages and forming plaques and nodules that narrow the blood vessels and decrease blood flow to the heart. If untreated, complications like angina, heart attack, and death can occur, but treatment with medications, diet management, and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery can manage symptoms and prognosis.
