A member asked:

What is the difference between congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease or do you have both?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different problems: Coronary artery disease is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. (http://1.Usa.Gov/lrisvf) congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. (http://1.Usa.Gov/lrirha).
