Overview
Ongoing follow-up of the patient with chronic stable angina is necessary to monitor symptoms and to optimize antianginal therapy. It is generally recommended that these patients be evaluated every 4-6 months during first year of diagnosis / initiation of therapy and annually thereafter. Based upon clinical judgement, if the patient is poorly responsive to therapy, if the episodes are severe or frequent, or if the patient is fragile with multiple co-morbidities, they may need to be seen more frequently.
During a follow-up visit, the patient should be asked about the frequency and severity of their anginal symptoms, their level of exercise capacity, whether they have been able to modify his/her risk factors, how well they are tolerating and complying with the therapy and whether he/she has developed new illnesses or co-morbidities.
Guidelines for obtaining imaging studies during follow-up visits are listed below:
ACC / AHA Guidelines- Echocardiography, Treadmill Exercise Testing, Stress Imaging Studies, and Coronary Angiography During Patient Follow-Up (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2]
