It is usually caused by narrowing of the **coronary arteries** (the heart\u2019s own blood vessels). Clinicians use the term in clinic notes, hospital charts, imaging reports, and research to describe coronary artery\u2013related disease. In some settings (especially pediatrics), CHD can also mean **congenital heart disease**, so context matters."}
