Ischemic Coronary artery disease is probably the most common medical ailment of human population.
It is managed by three 4 strategies by modern day cardiologists.
A.Only life style modification,
B.Medical management (Also called as GDMT or OMT)
C.PCI
D CABG
Which one of the above modality is most popular and superior as percived, among physicians and patients ?
No doubt, PCI is the undisputed winner for all the wrong reasons.
PCI success lies literally at the mercy GDMT. CABG has the same story to tell. While, only GDMT, has the vigor to stand alone in style and triumph in most CAD patients. We acknowledge GDMT never gets its due respect. We are all part of those guilty cardiology professional cartel , who silently watch the PCI to steal the show and shine in false glory.
Final message
PCI’s glory is primarily stolen from supportive GDMT.
