Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease usually starts with chest discomfort or an abnormal test, moves through non-invasive testing, and is then managed with medication and risk-factor control. Stents and bypass surgery are for people whose symptoms persist or whose anatomy is high risk. Medication therapy is the cheapest path and, for many people, works as well as a stent for symptom control.
