Question: 1 / 400

A disease characterized by a decreased blood flow to the heart, due to arteries narrowed by accumulated cholesterol and lipids, is known as

Arteriosclerosis

Cardiomyopathy

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the correct answer. CAD is a condition where there is a decreased blood flow to the heart due to arteries becoming narrowed by the accumulation of cholesterol and lipids. This can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and other serious heart-related conditions.

Arteriosclerosis refers to the hardening and thickening of the arterial walls, which is a common feature of CAD, but it does not specifically describe the disease characterized by decreased blood flow to the heart.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle itself, not specifically related to decreased blood flow from narrowed arteries.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, which is different from the narrowed arteries characteristic of CAD.
