| Physiologically, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugars (diabetes) have all been reported as key risk factors for CAD (Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors, 2016). In addition, one’s risk for developing CAD increases greatly as the number of risk factors an individual possess increases (CADRF, 2016). Fortunately because of the advances in medicine, there are numerous pharmacological treatment options available for combating each and every single one of these aforementioned risks. Furthermore, there are also non-modifiable risk factors for which someone can do nothing about. These include age, sex, and ethnicity (CADRF, 2016). | Physiologically, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugars (diabetes) have all been reported as key risk factors for CAD (Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors, 2016).

| To further complicate the problem, individuals in developing nations simply lack the access to affordable and reliable healthcare facilities to adequately treat their chronic conditions. In addition, healthcare systems around the world are reactionary in nature and tend to treat diseases only when the patient manifests symptoms rather than preventing the disease in the first place. This approach to healthcare is especially problematic for chronic diseases such as CAD for which there appears to be no immediate cure but rather the only plausible medical solution is to manage the current conditions to not allow any advancement in the disease. Unfortunately, this approach to disease is extremely expensive, and thus simply impractical for many living in developing nations. Thus without the proper medical management of CAD in addition to rising global life expectancies, especially in predominantly developing parts of the world, the global burden of CAD will undoubtedly increase for the foreseeable future (World Health Organization, n.d.). The most effective long term strategy for combating CAD should focus on preventing any and all risk factors associated with CAD from occurring in the first place. | To further complicate the problem, individuals in developing nations simply lack the access to affordable and reliable healthcare facilities to adequately treat their chronic conditions.

| - | CABG the most common type of heart surgery, is performed to improve blood flow into the heart. This surgery is performed by connecting a healthy artery or vein from another part of your body such as from the leg, chest, or arm to the blocked coronary artery. The healthy artery or vein bypasses the blocked or narrowed part of the artery, thus providing a new pathway for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart. During CABG, the breastbone is divided and the heart is stopped to send blood through a heart-lung machine. It is important to note that bypass surgery will not cure coronary artery disease, but it will improve heart function and reduce the risk of dying of heart disease (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2016). After the surgery, it is important that the patient takes time to recover. During the recovery period, a patient may participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program under the direct supervision of medical professionals. | + | CABG the most common type of heart surgery, is performed to improve blood flow into the heart.

| - | PCI, which is also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical procedure often used to open blocked or narrow coronary arteries. The procedure requires cardiac catheterization which involves the insertion of a hollow tube (catheter) with a small inflatable balloon at its tip covered with a stent. The inserted balloon catheter then compresses the plaque and opens up the blocked artery. The inserted stent then remains in the artery holding it open (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2016). | + | As seen in figure 12, PCI, which is also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical procedure often used to open blocked or narrow coronary arteries.

| Regular physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms and reduce mortality in patients with CAD. According to a study conducted in 2001, patients in the training group experienced fewer cardiac events and had a lower number of hospital readmissions. The total mortality of patients with CAD was found to be reduced by about 27% and 31%, as a result of the exercise training (Erbs, Linke & Hambrecht, 2006), (Jolliffe, Rees, Taylor, Thompson, Oldridge,& Ebrahim, 2001). | Regular physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms and reduce mortality in patients with CAD.

| The global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) is expected to increase in the future. This is especially true in developing countries due to a large population size, low education level, poor lifestyle choices and poor healthcare facilities. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, developing countries contributed 3.5 million of the 6.2 million global deaths from CAD in 1990 (Murray and Lopez, 1996). This study estimates that the developing countries will account for 7.8 million of the 11.1 million deaths due to CAD by 2020 (Murray and Lopez, 1996). This study provides evidence for an increased economic burden of CAD from only developing countries and all the countries of the world. | The global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) is expected to increase in the future.
