Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease. It is caused by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries, and it usually takes many years before symptoms appear. The most common symptoms are chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, and nausea. Everyone diagnosed with heart disease will need to make lifestyle changes (such as staying active and eating a heart healthy diet) and, depending on the severity, may need to take medications or undergo cardiac rehabilitation.
