May 10, 2011 -- Too few patients with stable coronary artery disease are taking recommended drugs that could help them avoid the need for procedures that open up clogged arteries, a study shows.
The study is published in TheJournal of the American Medical Association.
Less than half of the heart patients in the study with stable disease were taking antiplatelet drugs, statins, and beta-blockers before receiving stents or balloon angioplasty to open clogged blood vessels.
