10 Atherosclerosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Irregular Heartbeat
If you experience clogging in the coronary arteries – those that supply blood to your heart – then you are developing a condition that’s often referred to as coronary artery disease, or simply CAD.
CAD can cause a number of symptoms, one of which is an irregular heartbeat. This condition, sometimes referred to as arrhythmia, can feel like a racing heartbeat or a fluttering sensation in your chest. You may also simply note that your heart rate is inconsistent (though a degree of inconsistency is natural).
