Stable angina: a balanced approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery disease is a chronic medical condition associated with high mortality and morbidity. Among individuals with coronary artery disease, more than 50% have chronic stable angina. Recent evidence supports initial treatment with medical therapy, followed by revascularization, if indicated, in patients with chronic stable angina. The successful management of patients with chronic stable angina involves a combination of proven secondary preventative strategies, conventional medications for symptom relief, and, in some selected suitable patients, revascularization therapy.

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 r...
