Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease
The treatment for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to reduce symptoms, improve heart function, and prevent heart attacks. Modern medical approaches include:
- Medication: Using antiplatelets (blood thinners), cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins), and medications to control blood pressure or reduce heart workload.
- Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting: A minimally invasive procedure where a catheter is used to inflate a balloon in the narrowed artery and place a stent to keep it open.
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): A surgical procedure that creates a new path for blood to flow to the heart, bypassing the blocked portion of the artery.
- Lifestyle Modification: This is a crucial foundation for all treatments, including quitting smoking, managing stress, regular exercise, and a heart-healthy diet.
