Statin is a type of medication that helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol your body produces, particularly in the liver. This medication helps prevent the build-up of fatty deposits (plaques) in blood vessels, which can lead to heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. Statins are commonly prescribed to help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by making blood vessels healthier and improving blood flow.

Coronary Artery Disease – A condition where the major blood vessels that supply the heart become damaged or diseased. It develops when fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of coronary arteries. This buildup, called plaque, causes the arteries to narrow over time. As the arteries narrow, blood flow to the heart becomes restricted. The reduced blood flow can cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other symptoms. The disease typically develops over decades, and its progression can be influenced by various risk factors.

Stable Chest Pain – A predictable pattern of chest discomfort that typically occurs with physical activity or emotional stress. The pain or discomfort, also known as stable angina, is caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. It usually feels like pressure or tightness in the chest, and may also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. The symptoms typically last a few minutes and improve with rest. Unlike unstable angina, the pattern and intensity of pain remain consistent over time.
