Poor understanding of symptoms and management contributes to delayed care.

Photographs (44.8%) and digital graphics (24.9%) were most common. Only 30% of images depicted people, with slightly more males with neutral expressions. Content primarily focused on prevention and healthy lifestyle choices (24.9%) and anatomical images (21.8%). Clinical aspects were significantly underrepresented, including depictions of screening and diagnoses (13.2%), consequences (9.0%), and medications (7.0%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CAD images in NZ webpages and educational resources emphasise healthy lifestyles and diet, but are less focused on treatment and long-term management. The scarcity of images depicting CAD symptoms, screening, medications, disease pathophysiology, and long-term management represents a missed opportunity to support health literacy.
