What medical attention is needed for coronary artery disease?

What if medical attention is used for coronary artery disease? So I think for a start, if someone is experiencing chest pain when they're exerting, this could be a sign of having significant coronary artery disease. In this situation, it is advisable for the patient to either seek advice from the general practitioner, or if the pain is getting worse and it's not relieved by rest or some of the usual pain relieving medication, then the patient should call 999 and go to the local A&E where they will be investigated. And if they are found to have a significant event secondary to this coronary artery disease, then they will be offered treatment accordingly. Generally, you would be seen by a specialist and they would prescribe aspirin for you, which you have to take lifelong unless there is a contraindication to taking aspirin. They would also give you some additional drugs which would help increase the flow down these narrow arteries. And these are generally either called nitrates or beta blockers. And if there is the possibility of diabetes, then you would be treated for diabetes as well. A lot of the patients who have coronary artery disease also have coexisting high blood pressure or hypertension, and that may need to be treated. Sometimes the first sign of hypertension is the emergence of angina or chest pain. So patient would be treated for that. Very rarely you would have a condition called familial hypercholesterolemia in which your blood cholesterol level is very high and that would require treatment. Generally, most patients who have coronary artery disease, they will be given a drug called statin, which lowers the level of cholesterol in blood.
