This document summarizes the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Some key points:
- CAD is the leading cause of death in adults in the US, though mortality rates have fallen 24-28% since 1975 due to improved medical therapy and risk factor modification.
- Management of CAD involves treatment of acute issues like ACS as well as chronic management. Chronic management includes secondary prevention through smoking cessation, blood pressure and lipid control, exercise, and use of medications like aspirin, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins.
- Lifestyle modifications and medications are both important to control blood pressure, as studies show lower blood pressure is associated with lower risk of heart disease and stroke.

8. Temporal Trends in CAD
• CHD is the leading cause of death in adults in
US (1/3 of all deaths in subjects over age 35)
• Mortality rates for cardiovascular death has
fallen in most developed countries 24-28% since
1975
• Estimated that 45 percent of mortality reduction
in CHD is due to improvement of medical
therapy and 55% is due to risk factor
modification

20. Aspirin Recommendations
Start and continue indefinitely aspirin 75 to 162
mg/d in all patients unless contraindicated
For patients undergoing CABG, aspirin (100 to
325 mg/d) should be started within 48 hours after
surgery to reduce saphenous vein graft closure
Post-PCI-stented patients should receive 325 mg
per day of aspirin for 1 month for bare metal
stent, 3 months for sirolimus-eluting stent and 6
months for paclitaxel-eluting stent

Blood pressure 120/80 mm Hg or greater:
Initiate or maintain lifestyle modification: weight control,
increased physical activity, alcohol moderation, sodium
reduction, and increased consumption of fresh fruits vegetables
and low fat dairy products
Blood pressure 140/90 mm Hg or greater (or 130/80 or
greater for chronic kidney disease or diabetes)
As tolerated, add blood pressure medication, treating initially
with beta blockers and/or ACE inhibitors with addition of other
drugs such as thiazides as needed to achieve goal blood

Cigarette Smoking Recommendations
•Ask about tobacco use status at every visit.
•Advise every tobacco user to quit.
•Assess the tobacco user’s willingness to quit.
•Assist by counseling and developing a plan for
quitting.
•Arrange follow-up, referral to special programs,
or pharmacotherapy (including nicotine
replacement and bupropion.
•Urge avoidance of exposure to environmental
tobacco smoke at work and home.

42. Lipid Management Recommendations
Start dietary therapy (<7% of total calories as saturated fat
and <200 mg/d cholesterol)
Adding plant stanol/sterols (2 gm/day) and viscous fiber
(>10 mg/day) will further lower LDL
Promote daily physical activity and weight management.
Encourage increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids
in fish or 1 g/day omega-3 fatty acids in capsule form for
risk reduction.

If baseline LDL-C > 100 mg/dL, initiate LDL-lowering
drug therapy
If on-treatment LDL-C > 100 mg/dL, intensify LDL-
lowering drug therapy (may require LDL lowering drug
combination)
If baseline is LDL-C 70 to 100 mg/dL, it is reasonable to
treat to LDL < 70 mg/dL
Assess fasting lipid profile in all patients, and within 24 hours of hospitalization for
those with an acute event. For patients hospitalized, initiate lipid-lowering medication
as recommended below prior to discharge according to the following schedule:

44. Lipid Management Recommendations
If TG are 200-499 mg/dL, non-HDL-C should be < 130
mg/dL
Further reduction of non-HDL to < 100 mg/dL is reasonable
Therapeutic options to reduce non-HDL-C:
More intense LDL-C lowering therapy I (B) or
Niacin (after LDL-C lowering therapy) IIa (B) or
Fibrate (after LDL-C lowering therapy) IIa (B)
If TG are > 500 mg/dL, therapeutic options to prevent
pancreatitis are fibrate or niacin before LDL lowering
therapy; and treat LDL-C to goal after TG-lowering therapy.
Achieve non-HDL-C < 130 mg/dL, if possible

Assess BMI and/or waist circumference on each visit and
consistently encourage weight maintenance/
reduction through an appropriate balance of physical activity,
caloric intake, and formal behavioral programs when indicated.
If waist circumference (measured at the iliac crest) >35 inches in
women and >40 inches in men initiate lifestyle changes and
consider treatment strategies for metabolic syndrome as
indicated.
The initial goal of weight loss therapy should be to reduce body
weight by approximately 10 percent from baseline. With success,
further weight loss can be attempted if indicated.
*BMI is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the body surface area in meters2.
Overweight state is defined by BMI=25-30 kg/m2. Obesity is defined by a BMI >30 kg/m2.

Assess risk with a physical activity history and/or an exercise
test, to guide prescription
Encourage 30 to 60 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic
activity such as brisk walking, on most, preferably all, days of
the week, supplemented by an increase in daily lifestyle
activities
Advise medically supervised programs for high-risk patients
(e.g. recent acute coronary syndrome or revascularization,

Use in all patients with LVEF < 40%, and those
with diabetes or chronic kidney disease
indefinitely, unless contraindicated
Consider for all other patients
Among lower risk patients with normal LVEF
where cardiovascular risk factors are well
controlled and where revascularization has
been performed, their use may be considered

82. LMWH Limitations
• Indirect inhibition: dependent on antithrombin
• Inability to inhibit clot-bound thrombin
• Catheterization lab: slower onset, longer half-
life, and with enoxaparin, no standard test to
measure levels/effect
• CABG: concerns regarding the long half-life
• Monitoring for Factor Xa: possible, but what is
the therapeutic target, increased time, expense?
• Not all LMWHs are the same
