Abstrakt: Physicians in the United States have recently published a guide to the definition and management of unstable angina pectoris. The guideline divides this condition into three main groups: ‘rest’, ‘new onset’ and ‘increasing’ angina. For the great majority of patients, medication involves heparin, acetylsalicylic acid, nitrates and beta-blockers. In some patient groups, calcium antagonists are appropriate treatment. These recommendations seem to be broadly supported by European cardiologists. Study of individual cases, however, reveals a continuing diversity of opinion. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
