In this review, we describe how the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become increasingly complex due to the rapid evolution of pharmacotherapy and procedural techniques. The expanding array of treatment options has driven researchers to investigate the optimal combination of therapies
while the findings offer invaluable insights, the sheer volume and occasional contradictions can foster confusion. Given the diverse spectrum of CAD and its manifestations, a tailored treatment decision is critical for each patient. We hope to demonstrate that by integrating the key messages from clinical trials and prioritizing patient comprehension and preference, healthcare providers can guide their patients toward appropriate treatment options, ultimately leading to enhanced care.
