Case description

Coronary arteries typically follow a benign course, facilitating the essential function of supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. However, when pathological changes occur, such as atherosclerosis, these vessels can take a malignant course. Atherosclerosis involves the buildup of plaque within the arteries, leading to their narrowing and compromising blood flow. This malignant progression can result in serious consequences, such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), as the compromised blood supply may fail to meet the heart's demand for oxygen. Timely intervention and lifestyle modifications are crucial in managing and preventing the malignant course of coronary arteries, often involving medical treatments or surgical procedures to address the underlying issues.
