Abstract: Abstract If a coronary artery supplying blood to the heart becomes blocked, the heart will not receive sufficient oxygen, causing an ischemic region. If the condition persists, it will eventually lead to permanent damage, that is, myocardial infarction. Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases in the Western world, causing millions of deaths each year. For example, in the United States 18 per cent of deaths in 2005 were due to coronary artery disease [76], while in Denmark around eight per cent of the population experiences poor health because of the disease [77].
