Stable angina affects a significant number of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, impairing their quality of life and worsening their prognosis. It manifests even despite prior revascularization and is often poorly controlled with drug therapy. Comorbid conditions are frequently encountered in CAD patients, affecting their prognosis and rendering the diagnosis and management of angina more challenging. In the present paper, derived by an expert panel meeting, we attempt a practical approach to stable angina, focusing on symptomatic patients subjected to prior coronary revascularization or not suitable for revascularization and providing handy diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms and comorbidity-adjusted therapeutic approaches in accordance with existing evidence, current recommendations and locally available therapeutic options.
