[Therapeutic Strategies in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease: The Role of Coronary Revascularization].

Therapeutic Strategies in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease: The Role of Coronary Revascularization Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Prevention and optimal treatment of patients with coronary artery disease is therefore crucial. Lifestyle changes, optimal medical therapy and aggressive risk factor control represent key elements in the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease. Coronary revascularization of flow-limiting coronary artery stenoses is indicated to reduce myocardial ischemia and related symptoms. This review summarizes treatment strategies of patients with stable coronary artery disease, focusing on the 2018 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines of myocardial revascularization.
