Is coronary artery disease curable? So, coronary artery disease is not curable currently. We understand that it's a chronically chronic inflammatory process. And all therapies currently are aimed at reducing progression and reducing the risk associated with the presence of coronary atheroma or furring. And so what we do know is that if patients are at high risk of coronary artery disease, optimal and very aggressive risk factor modification can significantly reduce the progression of disease, and also significantly reduce the risk of a complication associated with disease, for example, a heart a heart attack or a stroke. So the focus of care is all to do with adequate management blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and ensuring that all risk factors are optimally managed.
