Prevention of coronary artery disease.
The magnitude of cardiovascular disease is enormous. When the risk factors that predispose a patient to heart disease are recognized early and the appropriate intervention is instituted, the incidence of morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease can be reduced. Lifestyle modification and the judicious use of medications can improve the complications of heart disease and prevent its onset.
