yes.

coronary heart disease is caused by the narrowin of da coronary arteries due to cholestrol accumulation in its wall resultin in decreased oxygen supply to that particular area.dis is called ischaemia. ischaemic heart disease is therefore any cause which results in decreased oxygen supply.eg atherosclerosis,thrombus(platelet accumulation).throboembolus,or deformaties in arteries due to other disease(a secondary effect of other disease).........
