As cardiologists, we do recommend specific medications to help treat coronary artery disease. These have many benefits and compliance is required for long term treatment.
your cardiologist will direct you towards the best combination of medications that suite your heart conduction. However, in general most patients with coronary artery disease (heart artery blockages) will need to have a better blood [pressure control, diabetes control and cholesterol control as well as certain antiplatelets (blood thinner) to prevent clotting within the coronary arteries.
