Treatment
Treatment of stable and unstable angina is quite similar in some aspects as lifestyle modifications and physical exercise.
Still, they differ in that while medical therapy can be definitive in stable angina. Most cases are well controlled on medical treatment with lifestyle changes, surgical treatment or percutaneous intervention are a must in unstable angina, where medical therapy only acts as a relief for the symptoms and a bridging therapy preserving the heart muscle for as long as possible as well as preventing the progression to myocardial infarction.
