Appropriate Management of Coronary Artery Disease

Mohamed Z. Khalil and Mansour M Al Nozha

The management of coronary artery disease (CAD) includes three important steps; investigations to establish the disease, and strategies for treatment, and preventive measures. Over the past three decades, the medical community has witnessed a massive number of different modalities for the management of CAD in its three dimensions. These management strategies have been evaluated in a large number of prospective and retrospective trials that eventually resulted in mountain of evidence which probably created more confusion rather than simplicity for the treating physician. As a result, several guidelines were recommended based on available evidence; nonetheless, the decisions for CAD management in clinical practice do not necessarily follow these guidelines worldwide. Therefore, the objective of this article is to methodically simplify the management of CAD in light of recent published evidence.
