Chronic Angina

Acute and Stable Ischemic Heart Disease: Clinical Presentation Number: 1171-442 2018 American College of Cardiology Foundation [onlinejacc.org]

When patients present with symptoms of chronic stable angina, doctors should estimate the risk for heart disease on the basis of age, sex, risk factors, nature of symptoms, and a resting electrocardiogram. [annals.org]

Atypical presentation can be more convoluted in presentation and involve a wide range of symptoms. For example, an atypical patient may present with dyspnea instead of chest pain and this is termed an angina equivalent. [wikidoc.org]

A 57-year-old Caucasian female patient presents with a history of mild angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Class I). She gives no family history of vascular disease or diabetes but smokes 20 cigarettes a day. [academic.oup.com]

The prognosis of stable angina varies widely depending on severity of symptoms, extent of atherosclerosis and presence of other risk factors and co-morbidities. The presence of impaired left ventricular function is associated with a poor prognosis. [wikidoc.org]
