常見錯誤

❌He was diagnosed with coronary.
✅He was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.
💡'coronary' as an adjective must modify a noun; using it alone sounds incomplete.
❌She has a cardiac artery blockage.
✅She has a coronary artery blockage.
💡'cardiac' means 'relating to the heart generally'; use 'coronary' when referring specifically to the arteries that surround the heart.
