Coronary heart disease is a condition in which fatty substances build up inside the arteries that run to your heart. This makes them narrower, which can reduce the supply of oxygen to your heart.
CHD is the most common cause of death (and premature death) in the UK. 1 in 5 men and 1 in 7 women die from CHD. There are 80,000 deaths from CHD in the UK each year.
