A member asked:
How does a coronary heart disease affect the cardiac muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lack of blood supply: Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Disease of arteries often leads to blockage of blood flow. Lack of blood supply causes death of muscle, i.e., myocardial infarction, or heart attack.
