Study Notes
Stable Angina
- Predictable chest pain with exertion
- Relieved by rest or nitroglycerin
- Consistent symptoms over time without change
Unstable Angina
- Chest pain at rest
- Worsening symptoms over time
- Pain lasts more than 20 minutes
- Not relieved by nitroglycerin
Prinzmetal (Variant) Angina
- Chest pain at rest, particularly at night
- ST-segment elevation on ECG that resolves with nitroglycerin
- No pain during physical activity
- Often triggered by smoking or alcohol consumption
Silent Ischemia
- Ischemic changes on ECG
- No chest pain felt by patient
- Often associated with poorly controlled diabetes
- Peripheral neuropathy can mask symptoms
