Medical & Nonsurgical Care of Coronary Artery Disease

Treatments for coronary artery disease help relieve symptoms and decrease the risk for further complications such as heart attack or cardiac arrest.

Lifestyle Modifications

Fortunately, for many patients, lifestyle modifications such as quitting smoking, changing eating habits, or increasing exercise can slow the progression of coronary artery disease and relieve some symptoms.
