The management of unstable angina pectoris. 1979

B L Segal, and M N Kotler, and A S Iskandrian, and I M Herling

Patients with unstable angina should first be medically managed with the maximally effective drug regimen. Cardiac catheterization is called for if the angina continues. Surgical intervention may be more effective if preceded by intensive medical management. You should be aware, however, that patients with unstable angina and significant left main coronary disease require immediate coronary bypass surgery.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow.

D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation.
