Unstable angina patients require aggressive medical treatment including aspirin and heparin. Emergency revascularization via angioplasty or bypass surgery is crucial for persistent chest pain, especially in those with impaired heart function.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Ischemic Heart Disease

Background:

Unstable angina is a high-risk manifestation of ischemic heart disease.
Pathogenesis involves coronary spasm, thrombosis, and platelet aggregation.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the management of unstable angina.
To discuss prognosis and treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

Review of pathogenetic mechanisms and prognostic factors.
Description of medical and interventional treatment options.

Main Results:

Medical therapy includes beta-blockers, nitrates, calcium antagonists, heparin, and aspirin.
Approximately 30% of patients experience persistent chest pain despite medical treatment.

Emergency revascularization (angioplasty or bypass surgery) is indicated for refractory symptoms.

Conclusions:

Coronary artery bypass grafting may improve survival in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and triple-vessel disease.
