Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Coronary heart disease.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Often referred to as atherosclerosis, affects the vessels that supply blood to heart muscle. It is caused by the deposition of fat, cholesterol, calcium and fibrous tissue, which makes lumen of the arteries narrower

Angina It is also called ‘angina pectoris’. A symptom of acute chest pain appears when no enough oxygen is reaching the heart muscle

Heart failure It means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body. It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease

Cardiac-Arrest When the heart stops beating

Heart Attack When the heart muscles are suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply
