  • Is Angina Ruining Your Life? A Checklist to Help You Talk with Your Doctor

    11/04/2014

    Life was certainly easier before you had angina. But as scary and overwhelming as it is, it does not have to ruin your life. Medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases medical procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), or enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) are all treatment options that could help you live your life to the fullest. Take a few minutes to answer the questions below to see if you should talk with your doctor about doing more to treat your angina.

    Use the form below to record the symptoms and circumstances of your angina. Share your findings with your doctor during your next visit. You can print a copy of this planner here (PDF).
