What Causes Native Vessel Coronary Artery Disease?

I just found out that I have native vessel coronary artery disease with 30% lesion in the mid LAD. It was found via a cardiac catheterization. I don t quite understand all of this even with the doctors explanations. Would you please explain it to me, in layman s terms? I would greatly appreciate it.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, I really appreciate your concern. Coronary artery disease (CAD) of grafted artery during past CABG- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery is called Native vessel coronary artery disease. CAD of the artery leads to atherosclerosis and narrowing of the artery. LAD- Left anterior descending is the main coronary artery of the heart. The report says that there is 30% narrowing of the LAD. I advise you to take your heart medicines regularly to prevent further narrowing of the arteries.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
