title: Unstable angina treatment: 2006 update.
abstract: Properly treated, unstable angina and non-Q wave myocardial infarction have low hospital mortality, but if untreated, mortality is high. Symptoms and labs usually suffice for diagnosis. Abnormal physical findings are rarely helpful and often absent. Careful surveillance and management, including invasive management in selected cases, substantially reduce long-term risks.
