An artery disease that is characterized by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart resulting in a narrowing of the arteries and a reduced blood supply to the cardiac muscles.
An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
The study displayed the contribution of CASC8, CASC11, and PVT1 genetic polymorphisms to CHD predisposition, and these variants could serve as potential biomarkers of CHD susceptibility.CASC11 rs9642880 (OR = 1.49, P = 0.021) was a risk factor for increased CHD susceptibility in subjects over 60 years old, and PVT1 rs4410871 was a protective factor for CHD susceptibility in males (OR = 0.67, P = 0.015) and smokers (OR = 0.62, P = 0.047).
