Almost 95 % of coronary artery disease cases is due to atherosclerosis. Factors accelerating atherosclerosis have been well defined and being aware of these risk factors and managing the treatable ones will decrease both mortality and morbidity. When the treatment of coronary artery disease and treatment of risk factors is compared, managing the risk factors is found to be more cost effective. So primary prevention seems to be of utmost importance. Treatment of coronary artery disease either pharmacologically or nonpharmacologically also decreases mortality and increases life expectancy.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticleAtherosclerosisCardiovascular RiskCoronary Artery DiseaseCost Effectiveness AnalysisHumanLife ExpectancyMorbidityMortalityPrimary PreventionArticle381N/A3519
