<unk>   <unk> , also called<unk>  artery disease (CAD), ischaemic<unk>  disease, atherosclerotic<unk>  disease, is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the<unk> . This is usually the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the<unk>  with oxygen and nutrients.  While the symptoms and signs of<unk>  are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with<unk>  show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden"<unk>  attack, finally arise.  After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood flow to the<unk>  muscle.
