If a patient with stable coronary artery disease is at blood pressure goal but has no complaints of angina, what is the ideal blood pressure management approach?

In the context of managing a patient with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who has achieved their blood pressure goal and reports no symptoms of angina, the most appropriate approach is to continue the current medications without changes.

In this scenario, since the patient's blood pressure is already well-managed and they are asymptomatic, there is no immediate need to alter the treatment regimen. Blood pressure management in CAD primarily focuses on both controlling hypertension and preventing cardiovascular events. If the patient is stable and at goal, maintaining the current therapy helps avoid unnecessary medication adjustments that could introduce side effects or increase complexity in their treatment plan.

Increasing the beta-blocker dose, initiating additional antihypertensive therapy, or discontinuing all medications would not be justifiable, given that the patient is currently stable with no indications for these actions. Therefore, continuing with the current regimen is the most rational and evidence-based choice.
