"In the words of one noted physician, blockages in the main blood vessels of the heart create a problem that is \"relatively simple and very complex.\" This program reflects that dual perspective, aiming to simplify the discussion while embracing the complexity of coronary artery disease. Viewers learn about the ailment's causes, development, dangers, and treatment through helpful case studies and expert interviews. Dynamic 3D graphics show how plaque builds up in arteries, how this eventually obstructs blood flow, and how angioplasty, or the insertion of a tiny balloon and stents, can relieve the constriction. Patients who are coping with coronary artery disease share the challenges they face in their everyday lives, while astute commentary is provided by Dr. George A. Beller of the University of Virginia, Dr. Emmanouil Brilakis of the University of Texas, and other respected medical professionals. Contains surgical scenes of a graphic nature."@en .

"Inside the chest cavity are the left coronary artery and right coronary artery, which supply blood to the heart muscle. Damage to or blockages of either artery reduce blood flow in the affected artery, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. This condition, called ischemia, can cause pain. If a coronary artery's inner wall becomes damaged, plaque consisting of lipids (fats) and clotted blood can build up, causing progressive narrowing of the path through which blood can flow. Blood may find that the vessel it must pass through is too narrow. If the artery becomes completely constricted (blocked), causing anoxia (lack of oxygen) to the part of the heart muscle that the artery supplies, myocardial infarction (a heart attack) may occur. This event may cause some heart muscle cells to die." . "Inside the chest cavity are the left coronary artery and right coronary artery, which supply blood to the heart muscle.
