Numerous novel techniques have surfaced in the fight against coronary artery disease. This review aims to explore primary prevention by assessing methods to control modifiable risk factors and examining strategies for secondary prevention. Mitigating the burden of cardiovascular disease through careful risk reduction highlights the importance of prioritizing primary prevention in health policy. The global consensus endorses smoking cessation, weight management, and exercise as crucial measures. However, recommendations diverge on approaches to hypertension and optimal lipid profiles, posing contentious issues. This paper synthesizes international evidence on preventive strategies to offer a comprehensive overview of coronary artery disease research and identify areas needing further investigation.
