Key takeaways

Medications for coronary artery disease (CAD) are used to treat chest pain (angina), prevent heart attacks, and manage high cholesterol. These medications also have other uses, such as controlling high blood pressure. They work in various ways to reduce the risk of heart problems. Common medications taken in CAD include statins, calcium channel blockers, and ACE inhibitors. Statins like atorvastatin (Lipitor) and rosuvastatin (Crestor) are taken to lower cholesterol. Calcium channel blockers, such as amlodipine (Norvasc, Katerzia), help relax blood vessels. ACE inhibitors like lisinopril (Zestril) are used to lower blood pressure and improve heart function. These medications are all available in oral form.
