ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline for the Management of Patients With Chronic Stable Angina • 2007 Chronic Angina Focused Update of the ACC/AHA 2002 Guidelines
Definition • Clinical syndrome characterized by discomfort in the chest, jaw, shoulder, back or arm • Typically aggravated by exertion or emotional stress and relieved by nitroglycerin.
Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification • Class I Ordinary physical activity does not cause angina, such as walking, climbing stairs. • Class II Slight limitation of ordinary activity. Angina on walking or climbing stairs rapidly, walking uphill, walking or stair climbing after meals • Class III Marked limitations of ordinary physical activity. Angina on walking one to two blocks on the level and climbing one flight of stairs • Class IV Inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort—anginal symptoms at rest.
Purpose of diagnosis and assessment • Confirmation of presence of ischemia in patients with suspected angina • Identification associated conditions or precipitating factors • Risk stratification • To plan treatment options • Evaluation of efficacy of treatment
Exercise Electrocardiography • Most valuable for diagnosis when the patient's other clinical data suggest an intermediate probability of coronary disease • Uncertain value for patients with high or low pretest probability of coronary disease
CARDIAC STRESS IMAGING • Exercise stress testing is preferable to pharmacologic stress testing when the patient can exercise • Most useful for diagnosis in patients with an intermediate probability of disease. • Dobutamine perfusion imaging has significant limitations because it does not provoke as great an increase in coronary flow • Dobutamine is the agent of choice for pharmacologic stress echocardiography
Specific Patient Subsets • Treadmill electrocardiographic testing is less accurate for diagnosis in women than in men • Imaging technologies is also compromised by technical issues (e.g., breast tissue) in women • currently are insufficient data to justify replacing standard exercise testing with stress imaging in the initial evaluation of women.

ACC/AHA Guideline Criteria for Noninvasive Risk Stratification • High Risk (>3% Annual Mortality Rate) 1 Severe resting left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF < 0.35)2 High-risk treadmill score (score ≤ −11)3 Severe exercise left ventricular dysfunction (exercise LVEF < 0.35)4 Stress-induced large perfusion defect (particularly if anterior)5 Stress-induced multiple perfusion defects of moderate size6 Large, fixed perfusion defect with LV dilation or increased lung uptake7 Stress-induced moderate perfusion defect with LV dilation or increased lung uptake 8 RWMA (involving more than two segments) developing at low dose of dobutamine or at low heart rate (<120 beats/min)9 Stress echocardiographic evidence of extensive ischemia
ACC/AHA Guideline Criteria for Noninvasive Risk Stratification • Intermediate Risk (1%-3% annual mortality rate) 1 Mild or moderate LV dysfunction (LVEF = 0.35-0.49)2 Intermediate-risk treadmill score (−11 < score < 5) 3 Stress-induced moderate perfusion defect without LV dilation or increased lung intake4 Limited stress echocardiographic ischemia with a wall motion abnormality only at higher doses of dobutamine involving two segments or less • Low Risk (<1% Annual Mortality Rate) 1 Low-risk treadmill score (score ≥ 5) 2 Normal or small myocardial perfusion defect at rest or with stress* 3 Normal stress echocardiographic wall motion or no change of limited resting wall motion abnormalities during stress
