Life style measures (weight reduction and control, reduction of total fat calories to < 30% of total calories, modification of fat intake to increased monounsaturated vegetable fat, increased intake of dietary fibers, increased physical activity, controlled stress relaxation) are the basis of longterm therapy of coronary heart disease. For transformation to daily life both patient and doctor need motivation, information, patience, and realistic aims. For realization the 10 rules of medical information should be followed. The patient must be informed that the "new lifestyle" is not punishing but means a new quality of life. With respect to the most important metabolic syndrome with hyperinsulinemia due to insulin resistance, weight reduction is the most important measure for preventing complications of atherosclerosis. The patient should use a diary for weight control and blood pressure self-measurement. Secondary prevention of CHD has been shown useful and effective; however, most patients need additionally drug therapy to avoid or retard progression of the coronary heart disease. The targets for cholesterol and blood pressure control are low; the responsibility of the patient remains high. Besides weight reduction, stopping smoking, lowering lipids, controlling hypertension, and aspirin are the most important.

Epidemiological studies have repeatedly demonstrated a beneficial effect of moderate alcohol consumption on the incidence of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and overall mortality. The latter increases with excessive alcohol consumption. Although most epidemiological studies demonstrate a beneficial effect of alcohol consumption independent from the specific kind of alcoholic beverage, there is increasing evidence that wine and in particular red wine might contain pharmacological substances, which prevent atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction independent from the wine ethanol. Pathophysiological mechanisms mediating these beneficial effects include effects of wine phenols and tannins on LDL-cholesterol oxidation status, thrombocyte aggregation, endothelial function and smooth muscle cell proliferation. Identification and characterization of the pharmacologically active substances might provide the stage for the development of new substances to be used in the prevention of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.
