Your modifiable risk factors, turned into a plan
Dr. Rob is prototyping a Modifiable Risk Factor Motivator widget on Stroke first. When it ships it embeds right here — turning each Coronary Artery Disease-relevant risk factor into a tracked, evidence-backed action.

“I have coronary artery disease — the arteries that feed my heart are narrowed. I take medications every day, watch my cholesterol and blood pressure, and stay active to keep it stable. I wanted you to know because if I have chest pain or pressure that comes on with effort and gets worse or doesn’t go away with rest, that’s a real concern. Sudden chest pain that doesn’t pass — call 911.”

What CAD Actually Is
Plaque narrows the arteries feeding your heart. Causes angina, MIs, sudden death.
Why Statins Matter
Statins lower LDL AND stabilize plaque. They prevent the next event, not just the number.
Spot the Red Flags
Chest pain at rest >10 min · radiation to jaw/arm · sweating/nausea — call 911.
Triggers
Cold + effort, big meals + effort, emotional stress, untreated sleep apnea, smoking.
Risk Factors You Can Change
BP, lipids, smoking, weight, diabetes control, exercise, sleep apnea.
Antiplatelet Therapy
Aspirin alone or with another agent. Don't stop without your cardiologist's OK.
Nitroglycerin Use
Sublingual for angina. Sit, take, wait 5 min. Three doses 5 min apart, then 911.
Cardiac Rehab
Supervised exercise + education. Best post-MI investment you can make.
Make Every Visit Count
Bring your BP, lipid, exercise tolerance, and nitro use log.
Your Care Team
Cardiologist, PCP, cardiac rehab team, pharmacist, sometimes dietitian.
Telehealth & Tech
Wearables for HR/exercise. Home BP cuff. Cardiac rehab apps.
Insurance & Cost
Cardiac rehab is covered. Generic statins are cheap. Don't skip meds for cost.
Your Rights
Cardiac conditions are protected under ADA. Workplace accommodations for cardiac rehab.
Teach & Mentor
Be the post-MI patient who shows others recovery is real.
Advocate for Heart Health
Spread the word: heart disease is the #1 killer, but mostly preventable.
Research & Trials
PCSK9 inhibitors, anti-inflammatories, plaque imaging — your data helps.
