What is Coronary Heart Disease? Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a type of heart disease. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function properly. When fat and cholesterol accumulate on the inner walls of the coronary arteries, it can lead to narrowing or blockage, depriving the heart muscle of oxygen and nutrients. In severe cases, this can affect heart function, potentially leading to heart failure or even death. According to data from the Department of Health, heart disease is currently the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong, following cancer. Among various types of heart disease, coronary heart disease accounts for a significantly higher number of deaths than other heart conditions, and there has been a trend of increasing incidence among younger individuals. Regular check-ups can help maintain heart health and allow for early treatment of any emerging issues, preventing the worsening of heart disease.
