Stable vs unstable: Unstable angina is defined as a change in the pattern, (frequency, severity, duration, or degree of activity that precipitates it or angina at rest) in the preceding 2 weeks. Unstable angina is potentially dangerous. Stable angina is angina that occurs predictably with certain activities and is not a high risk condition.
