Heart disease is a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This means that it affects your heart and blood vessels. There are several types of heart disease. The most common in the US is coronary artery disease (CAD), or coronary heart disease (CHD). It affects the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle and is most commonly associated with heart attacks. Another type is cerebrovascular disease, which affects the blood vessels that supply the brain. This type is most commonly associated with strokes. CAD or CHD occur when hard patches, called plaques, build up in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, a fat-like substance found in the blood. Plaque buildup causes the arteries (blood vessels leading to the heart) to get narrower and become less flexible. This process is called atherosclerosis.
