title: Medical management of stable angina pectoris.
abstract: The number of drugs available for treatment of angina pectoris has increased dramatically in recent years; new beta and calcium channel blockers are to be introduced; nitrates are now available in transdermal pads and could become released as buccal tablets or aerosol sprays. A broad understanding of the pharmacological principles of their use is necessary to tailor therapy for each patient.
