Angina : NSF StandardsAngina : NSF Standards
Standard 8People with symptoms of angina or suspected angina should receive appropriate investigation and treatment to relieve their pain and reduce their risk of coronary events.
Standard 9People with angina that is increasing in frequency or severity should be referred to a cardiologist urgently or, for those at greatest risk, as an emergency.
Standard 10NHS Trusts should put in place hospital-wide systems of care so that patients with suspected or confirmed coronary heart disease receive timely and appropriate investigation and treatment to relieve their symptoms and reduce their risk of subsequent coronary events.
Narrowing of Coronary artery limits blood supply to heart muscle
If demand for blood supply cannot be met, muscle becomes ischaemic

Stable Angina: SymptomsStable Angina: Symptoms"There is a disorder of the breast with strong and peculiar symptoms considerable for the kind of danger belonging to it. The seat of it and the sense of strangling and anxiety with which it is attended may make it not improperly called angina pectoris.
They who are afflicted with it are seized while they are walking with a painful and most disagreeable sensation in the breast ... But the moment they stand still all this uneasiness vanishes.
If the pain continues, patients suddenly fall down and perish almost immediately.”
William Heberden London Medical Transactions 1772

Treatment Stop smoking, lose weight, healthy diet Aspirin, + Statin and ACEI as appropriate for 2y prevention Blocker if possible (else Verapamil or Diltiazem) Nicorandil or Nitrate, using GTN prophylactically

Prognostic Markers in Exercise TestingPrognostic Markers in Exercise Testing
The Duke Treadmill Score = exercise time in minutes on Bruce Protocol minus 5 x the ST-segment deviation
during or after exercise (mm) 4 x the angina index
0 if there is no angina 1 if angina occurs, and 2 if angina is the reason for stopping the test
works well for both inpatients and outpatients, and equally well for men and women

Class I: Ordinary physical activity does not cause anginaNo angina on ordinary walking or climbing stairs.Angina with strenuous or rapid or prolonged exertion at work or recreation.
Class II: Slight limitation of ordinary activityAngina on walking or climbing stairs rapidly, walking uphill, walking or stair climbing after meals, in cold, or in wind, or when under emotional stress, or only during the few hours after awakening; walking more than 100-200m on the level or climbing more than one flight of stairs at a normal pace and in normal conditions.
Class III: Marked limitation of ordinary physical activityAngina on walking 100-200m on the level or climbing one flight of stairs in normal conditions and at normal pace.
Class IV: Inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfortAnginal syndrome may be present at rest.
