	Goals for treating coronary artery disease include lowering [[blood pressure]], ~~maintaining [[~~HbA1c~~]] levels to less than~~ 7%, and lowering [[LDL]] cholesterol. Long-term treatment will generally depend on the symptoms and severity of disease, and include [[aspirin]], [[ACE inhibitors]], and other ani-coagulant and anti-platelet regimens. The mainstay of treatment for [[chronic stable angina\|stable angina]] which occurs with exertion, includes [[nitroglycerin]]. When unstable angina causes symptoms at rest, or in the setting of an acute [[myocardial infarction]], the immediate therapy is [[morphine]], [[oxygen]], [[nitrate]] and [[aspirin]]. [[Angioplasty]] may also be required in cases of [[acute coronary syndrome]].

	The [[LDL]] target in primary prevention depends upon the patient's [[risk factors]]. If the ~~patient has CHD or its equivalent~~, ~~then the LDL goal is under 100 mg~~/dl. ~~If the patient has 2~~ risk ~~factors~~, the LDL ~~goal is 130 mg~~/dl. ~~If the patient has~~ < ~~2 risk factors~~, ~~the LDL goal~~ is < ~~160 mg~~/dl. Attempts should be made to reduce [[triglyceride]] levels and to increase [[HDL]] levels. The underlying causes for existing [[dyslipidemia]]s should be identified and appropriately managed. Drugs that cause dyslipidemias should be avoided. Patients should be evaluated reguarly for the presence of risk factors for coronary heart disease, and those with increased risk should be counseled on the beneficial effects of daily [[aspirin]] therapy. Patients should also regularly be counseled about modifying risk factors such as [[obesity]], [[hypertension]], [[smoking]], and the benefits of an [[exercise]] plan.
