Coronary artery disease is treated with lifestyle changes and medications to help reduce high cholesterol, control high blood pressure, and manage other risk factors that increase a person's risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications.
It is found that coronary artery disease risk in diabetic subjects at any given plasma cholesterol level was approximately four times greater than in non- diabetic patients.
Diseases such as coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease and cerebrovascular disease are the major causes of disability and death today.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) - A narrowing of the inside diameter of arteries that supply the heart with blood.
Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries that carry blood and oxygen to the heart become clogged with plaque.

Indications for Coronary Calcium Scanning A calcium scoring evaluation may be useful in those patients in whom the documentation of the presence of coronary artery disease would be expected to change or influence therapy.
Coronary artery calcification scanning affords the opportunity to determine very accurately and noninvasively whether or not underlying coronary artery disease is present.
Percutaneous coronary interventions have become a safe and effective treatment modality for single and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Since coronary spasm is difficult to diagnose, screening for this eNOS mutation in families with risk for coronary artery disease would enable early and appropriate therapy.
