Coronary artery disease.
Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery by a buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). Blood flow will become low, and if the plaques rupture, you can have a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
What are the signs of coronary artery disease?

Pain in the arms, neck and shoulders
Sweating, restlessness.
Nausea, fainting, palpitations
Often symptoms appear when exercising vigorously/working hard.
