Clinical Overview and Case Analysis of Coronary Artery Disease with Diagnostic and Nursing Perspectives

Regitha Jales S.

Abstract: Coronary artery disease is a progressive condition that limits blood flow to the heart through the gradual accumulation of plaque within the coronary vessels, and it presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that often emerge only after years of silent development. The overview examines its incidence patterns, the major pathological mechanisms that drive vessel narrowing, and the range of contributing causes and risk factors that shape disease severity across populations. It also outlines the clinical forms of the disease, spanning obstructive, non-obstructive, and microvascular variants, each with its own challenges for diagnosis and treatment. A case study of a 63-year-old woman illustrates how symptoms, diagnostic findings, and laboratory results converge to confirm the condition, leading to interventional procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention and angiography. Medical, surgical, and alternative management strategies are presented, alongside common complications and essential nursing considerations, offering a comprehensive picture of how this condition is identified and addressed in clinical practice.
