Unstable Angina Prevention
The best prevention of unstable as well as stable angina is to modify those risk factors that can be changed.
In fact, some studies have shown that modifying risk factors can prevent the progression of arterial blockages and can lead to decrease in the severity of blockages.
Aspirin, antianginal medications such as nitrates (nitroglycerin), beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or others may be prescribed to prevent the occurrence of angina and lessen its severity. Aspirin and clopidogrel may reduce the likelihood of heart attacks in predisposed patients.
