[Recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (proposed revision)].
The optimal diagnostic and treatment strategies for unstable angina/non-Q-wave myocardial infarction patients will continue to be redefined as rapid progress is made in the understanding, and treatment of this syndrome. The recommendations presented here reflect, in part, discussions at the International Cardiology Forum in September 1998. Although areas of controversy remain, we have summarized major points on which a consensus could be reached and for which the weight of the clinical evidence supports a change in practice.
