<h1>Stable angina (angina pectoris)</h1> Stable angina is a medical condition that affects the heart. The most common causes are atherosclerosis and spasms of the epicardial artery. Typical symptoms include: <ul> <li>chest discomfort</li> <li>feeling of tightness, heaviness, or pain in the chest</li> </ul> Both stable angina and a heart attack result in chest pain, but a heart attack will have chest pain lasting at least 10 minutes at rest, repeated episodes of chest pain at rest lasting 5 or more minutes, or an accelerating pattern of chest discomfort (episodes that are more frequent, severe, longer in duration, and precipitated by minimal exertion). <br> Risk factors for stable angina include: <ul> <li>Age</li> <li>Gender</li> <li>Systolic blood pressure</li> <li>Smoking</li> <li>Total cholesterol and/or cholesterol:HDL ratio</li> <li>Coronary artery disease</li> </ul> The initial treatment for stable angina is usually drug therapy with aspirin, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and/or nitroglycerine. Future episodes of stable angina can sometimes be prevented by stopping smoking, weight management, and increased physical activity.
