Abstract

Angina pectoris is chest pain due to insufficient coronary artery blood flow and/or increased myocardial oxygen demand. In 2012, angina affected 3.05% of men and 1.79% of women in the UK. Stable angina is a chronic disease that can progress to unstable angina or myocardial infarction. Lifestyle modification, medications, and cardiac intervention/cardiothoracic surgery all play a part in its management. Patients with angina are mostly managed in primary care, where the focus of care is on maintaining quality of life and preventing disease progression.
