An increase in angina frequency, severity, or durationcharacterizes it as unstable. A patient with unstable angina should be referred for medical evaluation.Acute angina attacks that do not resolve with rest may require the use of nitroglycerin. MTM providers should counsel on proper use of nitroglycerin, including when to call 911.Management of chronic stable angina aims to reduce the frequency of angina attacks. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and long-acting nitrates are common treatments.MTM providers should stress the importance of adherence to medications for chronic stable angina and counsel on appropriate use of medications to maximize the therapeutic effect, eg, the importance of a nitrate-free interval for patients on long-acting nitrates.
