Treatments for CHD include over-the-counter (such as low-dose aspirin) and prescription medications and medical procedures. Your doctor may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and stress reduction.

Don't delay talking to your doctor. If CHD goes undiagnosed and untreated, it can lead to more serious heart problems. If you are currently being treated for heart disease, it's important to see your doctor regularly to monitor how effective your treatment plan is.
