Unstable angina pectoris

Article Abstract:

Patients with unstable angina can receive different treatments depending on their risk of having a heart attack. Unstable angina is chest pain that occurs at rest or is more severe than usual. Low-risk patients are those without pain during the physical exam who have no ECG changes. These patients can be treated with aspirin and evaluated on an outpatient basis. High-risk patients have persistent chest pain and ECG changes. They should be treated with anticoagulants, drugs that break up blood clots, and even angioplasty if necessary.
