What are the guidelines for managing stable angina pectoris?
The guidelines for managing stable angina pectoris were outlined in the Executive Summary of the Task Force on the Management of Stable Angina Pectoris of the European Society of Cardiology (Fox et al., 2006). The ACC/AHA 2002 Guidelines Update for Exercise Testing (Gibbons et al., 2002) and the European Heart Journal Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization (Wijns et al., 2010) also provided guidance on the management of stable angina pectoris. Additionally, Unstable Angina (Braunwald, 1989) and Women's Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation (Pepine et al., 2004) have made recommendations for the diagnosis and management of stable angina pectoris. Finally, the 27th Bethesda Conference (Califf et al., 1996) and Primary Cardiology (Chatterjee, 1998) have provided further insight into the recognition and management of patients with stable angina pectoris.
