Mild coronary artery stenosis is typically managed with medication, which can effectively control the condition. If the disease does not progress further, long-term medical therapy may be continued. However, due to individual differences in lifestyle and dietary habits, the condition may worsen over time; in such cases, interventional procedures may be appropriately considered for treatment.
