Key result
Adequate control of risk factors through lifestyle and pharmacological measures can largely reduce the incidence and recurrence of cardiac events.
Why the study?
Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in men and women, but adequate control of risk factors can substantially reduce cardiac events.
Do lifestyle and pharmacological measures reduce the incidence and recurrence of cardiac events in individuals at risk for or with coronary artery disease?
Do lifestyle and pharmacological measures reduce the incidence and recurrence of cardiac events in individuals at risk for or with coronary artery disease?
Adequate control of risk factors through lifestyle and pharmacological measures is essential for primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease.
Supports risk factor control in CAD prevention; leaves open optimal strategy combinations for specific populations.
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet adequate control of risk factors can largely reduce the incidence and recurrence of cardiac events. In this review, we discuss various life style and pharmacological measures for both the primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. With a clear understanding of management options, health care providers have an excellent opportunity to educate patients and ameliorate a significant burden of morbidity and mortality.

Short et al. (2021) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Risk factor modification (lifestyle and pharmacological) was evaluated. Adequate control of risk factors through lifestyle and pharmacological measures can largely reduce the incidence and recurrence of cardiac events.
