Prevention of Coronary Artery Disease

The best way to prevent heart disease is to live a healthy lifestyle. Don't smoke, eat a healthy diet (avoiding foods high in saturated fat) and don't overeat, get regular exercise, and keep your weight under control. If you have high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or diabetes, follow your treatment plan. If you have any signs of heart disease such as chest pain (angina), see your health care provider right away.
