NAMA : AHMAD SAHLAN ALI NIM : 2100610004 Part of the rehabilitation program concerns lifestyle changes to prevent worsening

of the coronary atherosclerosis. Stopping smoking, reducing cholesterol intake, and improving control of high blood pressure or diabetes are important factors for reducing atherosclerosis. It has been shown that persons who make significant changes in these factors not only slow the progression of coronary artery disease, but in some cases the disease process even reverses. Such patients will actually have less coronary artery disease a year after their heart attack then they did before. Most patients will be started on medication to help prevent future heart attacks. Mild anti-blood-clotting drugs have been shown to lessen the risk of future heart attacks in persons with coronary disease. Low doses of aspirin are commonly used, but stronger anti-clotting drugs are indicated in some people.
