Diagnosis
Rule out unstable angina:
- New angina
- Angina at rest
- Accelerating frequency or severity
History[2]
- Assess:
- Changes in angina or heart failure symptoms
- Adherence to prescribed medications
- Changes in medications
- Medication side effects
Physical Examination[3]
- Resting heart rate and blood pressure
- Signs of heart failure
- New dysrhythmia
- New or worsening vascular bruits or murmurs
- Status of abdominal aorta
Management[4]
- Counsel regarding appropriate use of medications, nutrition, weight optimization, smoking cessation
Disposition
- If angina is stable and there is no other reason for admission, may discharge home for further management by family physician or cardiologist
