1. Atherosclerosis as a systemic arterial process
The underlying pathology of coronary artery disease is infiltration of the arteries that supply blood to the heart with fatty deposits called plaques, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The plaques harden and narrow the coronary arteries, causing progressive heart tissue damage due to chronic oxygen deprivation.
