Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Prevention is crucial to reduce the risk of developing CAD, and this involves lifestyle modifications such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing stress. Medical management, regular screening, and early detection, as well as cardiac rehabilitation, are also important prevention strategies.
