ACE inhibitors have shown benefit in reducing the incidence of adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and are recommended as part of therapy. Antiplatelet drugs are recommended to reduce the risk of thrombus formation. CCBs are used as adjuncts to nitroglycerin and are safe in patients with asthma and depression. Cholesterol-lowering drugs are recommended to help slow the progression of CAD. Beta blockers are not recommended in patients with asthma or depression.
