Cad: Risk factor modification, BP control, and using medications that improve the supply-demand balance in coronary blood (and hence oxygen) supply.

Minimize the Drivers: Optimize lipoprotein concentrations (HDL & LDL concentration, see NMR particle test, NOT cholesterol), low normal blood glucose HbA1c <5.0, low normal BP, don't smoke, stay physically active, confront and resolve stress, etc. This is the best approach. Conventional methods: angioplasty, stents, bypass surgery, etc. only partially treat the symptoms & further complicate the disease process!
