Coronary heart disease and other manifestations of atherosclerosis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Canada. Despite favourable trends in recent years, we should try to reduce cardiovascular events further. Physicians must translate current knowledge into public health policies and management strategems for individual patients. Patients are best served by a comprehensive risk management approach, involving nonpharmacological (mainly lifestyle) changes and drug therapy.
冠心病和动脉粥样硬化的其他表现是加拿大发病和死亡的主要原因。尽管近年来有良好的趋势，但我们仍应努力进一步减少心血管事件。医生必须将当前的知识转化为公共卫生政策和针对个体患者的管理策略。通过综合风险管理方法，包括非药物（主要是生活方式）改变和药物治疗，患者能得到最佳治疗。
