Can coronary heart disease be prevented?

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by the buildup of plaque, leading to reduced blood flow. It remains one of the leading causes of death globally. While factors such as age, gender, and genetics cannot be changed, many aspects of CHD risk are modifiable. Preventative strategies focus on lifestyle changes, medical monitoring, and treatment to significantly lower the likelihood of developing the disease.
