      abstract = {This book describes the clinical challenge currently posed  by stable angina pectoris and provides guidance for those  making clinical decisions regarding its pharmacological  treatment. The importance of providing effective treatment  is beyond dispute and this book deals with the most  relevant aspects related to its pharmacological treatment.  The pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia as the basis for  rational treatment of angina is discussed thoroughly  together with all major management goals including optimal  symptom control and the secondary prevention of serious  cardiovascular events. Pharmacological Treatment of Chronic  Stable Angina Pectoris provides a clear description of the  mechanisms of action and clinical indications of available  anti-angina drugs and strategies for the use of novel  pharmacological agents. It also includes a critical  appraisal of the major management guidelines, which will  assist the reader to interpret current evidence and provide  the most appropriate forms of treatment. The ongoing  controversy regarding medical therapy versus myocardial  revascularization for the management of stable angina  pectoris is also addressed. This eminently practical book  will help guiding the reader through the complexities of  the field and will be highly appreciated by clinicians,  clinical cardiologists and cardiology trainees alike.},
