Angina Stable

Angina Stable – Stable Angina.

The three types of angina are stable, unstable, and variant (Prinzmetal’s). Knowing how the types are different is important. This is because they have different symptoms and require different treatment.

Stable angina is the most common type. It occurs when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. If you know you have stable angina, you can learn to recognize the pattern and predict when the pain will occur.

The pain usually goes away in a few minutes after you rest or take your angina medicine.

Stable angina isn’t a heart attack, but it makes a heart attack more likely in the future.

Women More Likely to Suffer From Stable Angina Heart Disease. Chest Pain More Common in Women. Men might have more heart attacks, but women are more likely to suffer chest pain as a potential first sign of heart disease.
A new international study shows women are 20% more likely than men to suffer from chest pain

The use of nitrates in chronic stable angina

Nitrates are one of many agents indicated in the management of angina. For many years, isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) was widely prescribed in the prevention and treatment of anginal attacks, but its use has declined with the marketing of novel but more costly nitrate delivery systems such as sustained release tablets and patches. Controversies exist as to whether or not these new formulations offer any additional benefits or harm compared to isosorbide dinitrate.
