Abstract

This paper is a summary of present practices in the investigation and management of angina. The mechanism, incidence, and prevalence of angina are reviewed, the roles of invasive and non-invasive investigations assessed, and the indications for coronary angioplasty and coronary bypass grafting discussed. Basic audit data sets for primary, secondary, and tertiary care are proposed and potential audit initiatives suggested.
