[Angina pectoris].

The present treatment of angina pectoris is briefly examined. It would appear from the literature published over the last three years that no cure has yet been found. Improvement in prognosis may be expected, particularly in stable forms. Existing clinical, ECG and angiocardiographic methods of diagnosis are described. Better awareness of the factors responsible for angina, coupled with more accurate diagnosis, enable clinical improvement to be achieved in a large number of cases by means of rationally planned medical or surgical management.
