The main goals of treatment in angina pectoris are relief of symptoms, slowing the progression of the disease (Coronary Artery Disease), and reducing the likelihood of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). The treatment of angina pectoris will generally include the use of medications such as vasodilators and calcium channel blockers (used to treat stable chronic angina), aspirin (used to treat individuals with stable angina with no other problems), and statins (used to reduce the amount of arthermatous plaque within coronary arteries). Additionally, long term treatment of angina may include particular exercise routines that involve gentle sustained exercise rather than intense short bursts of activity, as this appears to help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in the coronary arteries.
