2010 statistics released by American Heart Association reports that approximately 10.2 million people in United States suffer from angina pectoris[1]. In 2007 overall death rate from coronary artery disease was 251.2 per 100,000 and accounted for 33.6% of total deaths from all causes.Though death rate from coronary disease decreased by 27.8% from 1997 to 2007, the over all burden of the disease remains high secondary to high prevalence of risk factors such as smoking, diabetes and obesity. In 2008, an estimated 18.3 million Americans were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, accounting to approximately 8.0% of the adult population. Serum cholesterol levels of ≥240 mg/dL were observed in approximately 33.6 million adults ≥20 years of age[2]. Stable angina is the initial manifestation of ischemic heart disease in approximately 50% of these patients. Ischemic heart disease remains the single leading cause of death in United States. In Europe, CAD accounts for 49% of all deaths.
