Stable angina: treatment selection
نویسنده
چکیده
In the management of stable angina, there is time to optimize medical treatment while using stress testing to stratify long-term risk. Percutaneous coronary intervention does not decrease mortality or risk of myocardial infarction when compared with rigorously applied optimal medical treatment and should not be considered as part of a secondary prevention strategy. Whereas all patients should receive longterm medical therapy combined with advice on lifestyle, carefully selected patients will benefit from percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary surgery in addition. As in many areas of medicine, a balanced multidisciplinary approach based on evidence will offer the right treatment to the right patient
