Stable angina, often referred to as angina of effort, and its principal cause, reduction of the lumen of epicardial coronary arteries, have been recognized for >2 centuries.1,2 Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), its clinical picture, and the importance of coronary thrombosis in its origin were described a century ago.3 These 2 conditions, stable angina

Angina at Low heart rate And Risk of imminent Myocardial infarction (the ALARM study): a prospective, observational proof-of-concept study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) is often preceded by unstable angina. Helping patients identify the onset of unstable angina rather than MI may result in earlier treatment and improve outcomes.
