  • 917 Accesses

Abstract

A long-term goal of treating coronary artery disease (CAD) is to decrease mortality by reducing the prevalence of myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden cardiac death. An immediate goal of treatment is to minimize chest pain (coronary pain, angina), increase physical tolerance, and to positively influence the quality of life (QoL) of patients by alleviating symptoms [1].
