As well as illustrating the stages of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, I would also like to illustrate the reasons you may need the surgery in the first place. I researched Coronary Artery Disease and how it could lead to heart surgery.

Coronary Artery Disease -----> Angina/Chest pain

Angina is usually felt in the chest, but can be felt in the left shoulder, arms, neck, back and jaw.

It is described as a heaviness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, squeezing or painful feeling.

Other symptoms that can occur with Coronary Artery Disease include:

- Shortness or breath

- Palpitations

- A faster heartbeat

- Weakness or dizziness

- Nausea

- Sweating
