Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease is a non-communicable disease. This means that it cannot be transmitted from one organism to another.

What happens when you have coronary heart disease?

  • The coronary arteries narrow because of a build-up of fatty deposits.
  • This reduces blood flow and leads to a lack of oxygen being supplied to the heart muscle.
