CAD stands for which condition?

• A. Coronary Artery Disorder
• B. Cardiovascular Artery Disease
• C. Coronary Artery Dystrophy
• D. Coronary Artery Disease

Answer: (D)

CAD stands for Coronary Artery Disease, a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, usually from atherosclerosis. That reduced blood flow to the heart muscle can cause chest pain (angina) and, in more severe cases, heart attacks. The other terms aren’t used to name this condition: Coronary Artery Disorder isn’t the standard label, Cardiovascular Artery Disease implies a broader, less specific scope, and Coronary Artery Dystrophy suggests degeneration in a way not used to describe this disease. Coronary Artery Disease is the established, widely used term.
