Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The syndrome of increasing angina leading to myocardial infarction was first recognised in the 1930s and the term unstable angina coined in 1971 by Fowler. Since then the importance of acute coronary syndromes as a presentation of ischaemic heart disease has been fully recognised. Recently several new pharmacological agents have been developed for the treatment of these syndromes. We aim to review the current treatments available for unstable angina and give a practical guide to its management.
