A patient’s doctor explains that the patient has a blockage in the vessels that lead to the heart. What disease is the patient most likely suffering from?

Coronary arteries are the vessels that carry blood to the heart muscle. A blockage in these vessels is characteristic of coronary artery disease, so the patient is most likely suffering from coronary artery disease. Asthma affects the airways, arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm, and Paget’s disease affects bone.
