Figure 1 Current Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease
Current treatment breakdown for 15 million Americans with self-reported coronary artery disease. Roughly 9% of patients get revascularized yearly (7% percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI], 2% coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]). This pool is dynamic in both composition and symptom status. Some patients die, new patients are added, and symptoms change (from stable to unstable and vice versa). Modified from references 13 and 14.
