title: [Medical treatment of patients with stable angina pectoris].
abstract: Stable angina is usually due to coronary atherosclerosis and complicated by myocardial lesions responsible for ischaemic myocardiopathy. Tobacco suppression, aspirin and cholesterol lowering drugs especially statins are the best way to slow coronary atherosclerosis progression. beta-blockers, physical conditioning are the two main medical means to suppress anginal symptoms. Converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers are useful to slow the progression rate of ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Revascularisation procedures are combined with medical treatment and help treating symptoms and preventing myocardial lesions.
