Coronary artery disease (CAD) is generally a chronic condition, meaning it typically persists over time. However, you can manage and slow its progression through:

- Medical Treatments: Your doctor may prescribe medications to manage risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
- Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, can significantly lower the risk of complications.
