4 Best Doctors for Coronary Artery Disease Treatment in Kanpur

Coronary artery disease is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the heart are physically blocked or clogged. The cholesterol or fatty deposits on the inner walls of the artery narrow the blood vessel. As a result, there is insufficient blood flow to the heart muscles that may cause chest pain or even a heart attack.

The common symptoms of coronary heart disease are as follows: chest pain (angina); irregular palpitations of the heart; breathlessness; and tightness in the chest, jaw and the neck which can radiate to both the arms.

The following methods are used in the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia:
