High calcium levels impact risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack, recent research finds.
Higher calcium levels in the bloodstream determine a person's increased risk of developing coronary artery disease and heart attack, a new study suggests.
Coronary artery disease (CAD), which often results in a heart attack, is the most common cause of death on a global level. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 735,000 people have a heart attack every year in the United States.
