abstract: Unstable angina is a common condition that presents a challenge to physicians because of its complex pathophysiology, and because of the high incidence of associated death and myocardial infarction. This article summarizes key strategies that can be employed in managing unstable angina and describes their interaction with the mechanisms that underpin the condition.
