Question 40 • FL-2003310-Physical Science B-CR (Exam Only)

What is the relationship between coronary artery disease and a heart attack?

Answer
A
Coronary artery disease is a symptom of heart attacks.
B
Heart attacks reduce blood flow to the heart and cause coronary artery disease.
C
Coronary artery disease can reduce blood flow to the heart and cause heart attacks.
D
Heart attacks occur when coronary artery disease is treated.

Explanation

Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked, often by plaque. This can reduce blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle; if blood flow is blocked enough, a heart attack can occur. Therefore, choice C correctly describes the relationship.
