Welcome. Today we are going to talk about coronary artery disease. I'm Dr. Mansfield.

And I'm Dr. Phillips. Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease, and the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women.

Dr. Mansfield
In this program, you can find out what coronary artery disease is, what causes it, and some of the common symptoms of this condition. We also discuss the anatomy and physiology of the heart and the circulatory system.

Dr. Phillips
In addition, you can learn about the potential consequences and complications of coronary artery disease, including heart attack. We cover how coronary artery disease can be diagnosed, treated, and prevented as well.

Dr. Mansfield
Our specialists -- Dr. Patel and nurse practitioner Captain Miller -- provide their expertise throughout the program. Finally, we'll introduce you to several patients who share their personal experiences with coronary artery disease.
