Rationale 1: Severe impairment or complete loss of blood flow causes myocardial infarction and a high risk of sudden death.
Rationale 2: Moderate restriction of blood flow to the coronary arteries leads to angina.
Rationale 3: Cerebrovascular accident is a stroke, and does not occur in the heart.
Rationale 4: Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD), is the term used to describe impaired blood flow in the coronary arteries. Moderate restriction of flow leads to angina pectoris. Severe impairment or complete loss of blood flow causes myocardial infarction and a high risk of sudden death. CHD can also cause dysrhythmias and lead to heart failure.

Global Rationale: Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD), is the term used to describe impaired blood flow in the coronary arteries. Moderate restriction of flow leads to angina pectoris. Severe impairment or complete loss of blood flow causes myocardial infarction and a high risk of sudden death. CHD can also cause dysrhythmias and lead to heart failure. Cerebrovascular accident is a stroke, and does not occur in the heart.
