Definitely it is prevention that is the best treatment for heart disease. It is prevention, it is avoidance. Basically, you need not to have heart disease you just have to be careful with your lifestyle, with what you eat. You need to avoid smoking, stress and high fat, high cholesterol diet.

Prevention is good, awareness is better. A person can have a perfect lifestyle and still die at the age of 18 from a condition that he or she didn't know they had. Heart disease is the number 1 killer of people partly because people think it is an old person's disease. These disease develop over years, not months. A person with a heart disease will live longer if they find out about it when they are young.

What Are the Treatments? Conventional medical care is essential once heart disease begins to produce noticeable symptoms. Its aim is to stabilize the condition immediately, to control symptoms over the long term and to provide a cure when possible. Stress reduction and lifestyle changes are important components for managing heart disease. Though appropriate changes to diet and lifestyle are always recommended, the mainstays of conventional care are drugs and surgery. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/understanding-heart-disease-treatment

Well there are many different types of heart disease and the treatment varies depending on the cause. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which is basically blockages in the arteries that supply the heart and can lead to heart attacks. The treatment includes Aspirin, Clopidogrel, beta blockers (all end in "olol"), ace inhibitors (all end in "pril)/ angiotensin receptor blockers (all end in "sartan") and cholesterol lowering medications like the statins. All of these agents are associated with a reduced risk of future heart attack and overall mortality. The appropriate medical regimen will vary from patient to patient though
