Get the Most Advanced Care for Coronary Artery Disease

If you have coronary artery disease (CAD), you need a treatment plan tailored to you.

Your doctor may recommend:

  • Lifestyle changes: This could include a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking or stress management.
  • Medications: You may need medication to lower your cholesterol levels, control blood pressure or reduce the risk of blood clots. Your doctor may also recommend medications to alleviate certain CAD symptoms.
  • Procedures: If medications and lifestyle changes aren’t enough, your doctor may recommend a procedure to open your arteries or re-route blood flow. CAD procedures include angioplasty and stent placement, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Find out the signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease, and how Emory Heart & Vascular experts diagnose this condition.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

During coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), doctors remove a blood vessel from your chest, arm or leg and re-attach it to your coronary artery.
