Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Stable coronary artery disease is a settled phase of narrowing in the heart’s arteries caused by plaque build-up. The narrowing is present and predictable rather than actively producing an emergency.
Key points
- Blood flow to the heart muscle can be reduced when plaque narrows a coronary artery.
- Angina is chest discomfort that may appear during physical activity or emotional stress and ease with rest.
- Coronary heart disease is another term health professionals may use for coronary artery disease.
Medicines listed for stable coronary artery disease
The listed products, Coversyl and Aceon, are tablets containing Perindopril. Perindopril belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors. In stable coronary artery disease, this group can help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart.
