A member asked:
Can you please tell me what exactly is coronary artery disease or hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Separate but serious: Hypertension is high blood pressure and can occur with coronary artery atherosclerosis or not. Coronary blockage develops over time and can cause angina, or myocardial infarction= heart attack.
