PREVENTION
Eat a heart-healthy diet
Get more active
Lose weight
Lower blood pressure
Limit alcohol
Reduce stress.
Cholesterol-lowering Drugs
Keep blood sugar under control
Blood Pressure-lowering Drugs
Calcium channel blockers relax blood vessels by preventing calcium from moving into muscle cells in the heart and blood vessels.
Statins block a substance that your body needs to make cholesterol
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) help relax your blood vessels to let more blood through.
enalapril (Vasotec)
lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
losartan (Cozaar)
ramipril (Altace)
valsartan (Diovan)
amlodipine (Norvasc)
bepridil (Vascor)
diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR)
nicardipine (Cardene, Cardene SR)
nifedipine (Adalat CC, Afeditab CR, Procardia)
Beta-blockers slow the heartbeat to reduce the force of blood moving through the arteries
metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL)
nadolol (Corgard)
atenolol (Tenormin)
Bile acid sequestrants help your body remove more cholesterol from your blood
Fibric acid derivatives (fibrates) increase HDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides.

Chest Pain (Angina)
Medications

Cholesterol medication to improve cholesterol levels
Blood pressure medications to lower blood pressure and decrease the heart's workload
Medication to help prevent blood clots or control inflammation
Nitroglycerin to relax blood vessels, improve blood flow to the heart muscle, and treat chest pain
Pain on certain areas of the body
Difficulty breathing
Electrocardiogram - recording electrical signals as they travel through the heart
Sweating
Indigestion
Nausea
Exercise stress test
Aspirin
Cholesterol - modifying medication Medication that decreases the LDL cholesterol
Beta Blockers
Calcium Channel Blockers
Ranolazin
Beta Blockers work mainly by slowing the heart rate
A prescription drug used to treat chronic angina
Stress Test
Myocardial Scintigraphy
Coronarography
Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT)
Aspirin can slow and decrease the size of the clotting blood
Possible Acetylcholine or Ergonovine test (vasospasm)
Atorvastatin
Fluvastatin
Lovastatin
Lowers the blood pressure by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries
NOCAD caused by Endothelial or Microvascular Dysfunction
Lifestyle changes to control risk factors
Medications
Surgery
Surgery is an option for myocardial bridging, offered only as needed when medications fail
Chest Pain (Angina)

Pain in the back, arms, or jaw
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Light-headedness
Palpitations (sensation of heart beating funny)
Most people with non-obstructive coronary artery disease will need medical therapy to improve their symptoms
