A coronary occlusion, or coronary artery disease, is the partial or complete obstruction of blood flow in a coronary artery. This condition may cause a heart attack.[1] It is the most common form of cardiovascular disease, and is the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting 18 million adults.[2]
