[Conservative therapy of patients with stable coronary heart disease].

The main treatment goals of conservative treatment of patients with stable coronary heart disease are prevention of symptoms, prevention of myocardial infarction, and heart failure and reduction of mortality. Lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, physical activity) are essential to reduce risk factors. For symptomatic treatment and prevention of angina pectoris, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, I((f)) (funny channel) blockers and ranolazine are effective. Cornerstones of pharmacological prevention are drugs with prognostic effects, specifically aspirin and statins, as well as treatment of co-existing disorders such as hypertension and diabetes.
