Prevention of Angina

Keeping within your exertion limits can prevent the frequency and severity of angina attacks. If you already have angina it is not too late to try to improve the situation by trying to get as much exercise as you safely can.

A daily low dose of aspirin (e.g. 75-150mg) is recommended, and perhaps a lipid-lowering drug considered to reduce the risk of attacks.
