Abstract

The Management of the Patient with Angina Pectoris

Chairman: I thought that we might concentrate this discussion on the more controversial aspects of treating angina but I realise that almost the only uncontroversial aspect is the use of short term nitrites. It is a tribute to Lauder Brunton that this seems to be the only form of treatment on which we would probably all agree. Much more controversial is the use of long-action nitrites. Should one employ these clinically?
