Brief Answer:
It means that two of coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
There are two main coronary arteries, right coronary artery and left coronary artery, left coronary artery divided into two arteries, left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery. Arteries are located on the heart muscle, they run on the heart muscle, divide into smaller branches and they supply blood to the heart muscle, as heart muscle can't use blood and oxygen from the heart chamber.
When we say that there is two vessel disease, we mean, that two of arteries are narrowed or blocked.
There is no influence on the chamber filling, it is just about coronary arteries.
Hope this was helpful
Wishing you good health
