The biological mechanisms related to progression and regression of CAD are indeed complex. While endothelial injury and lipid accumulation play an important role in the progression/regression of CAD, mechanisms of vascular function, particularly that of the endothelial modulation of vasodilation, cannot be ignored. Much is yet to be learned about the influences of endothelial function on the progression/regression and stabilization of CAD. Initial evidence suggesting that risk reduction interventions favorably influence vascular function argues for further investigation of this role. To date, much of the research on risk reduction has focused on lipid lowering and regression of artery plaque, a focus on artery structure. A focus on both function and structure is likely to expand our understanding of the effect of risk reduction interventions beyond lipid lowering. Given the multifactorial causes associated with development of CAD, such an approach is necessary.

Clearly, age and education are important factors for predicting adherence in CAST, given that they appear in all three regressions. Moreover, the 4-month and 1-year results indicate that mental health and presence of a spouse are important predictors. Physical function, stress, angina, and history of MI may also provide additional information regarding adherence levels. It is interesting to note that although adherence was higher for patients who have "good" social characteristics, such as having a spouse, support, integration, perceived good health, good mental health, low stress, and education, it was also better for those patients who had "poor" physical characteristics such as a history of angina, a history of MI, and low physical function. In the multivariate analysis, older age was also associated with good adherence. These observations are not necessarily intuitive and support the need for further research in this area. If patients at risk for poor adherence can be identified prospectively, strategies may be developed to improve their subsequent medical care in such a way to favorably affect and improve their outcomes.
