Meaning and Clinical Context
Narrowing of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
Coronary stenosis is typically diagnosed via coronary angiography, which visualizes the degree of arterial narrowing. Management includes lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy (e.g., statins, antiplatelets), and revascularization procedures like stenting or CABG for severe cases.
