A member asked:
Is unstable angina controlled by just a beta blocker? or does it need a combination of beta, ace-inhibitors, calcium blockers, or other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs intervention: True unstable angina means having chest pain at rest with shortness of breath etc and needs urgent evaluation for possible angioplasty with stent placement if needed.
