Angina treatment: Stents, drugs, lifestyle changes — What's best?

How to choose

You and your doctor will discuss the pros and cons of each treatment to determine what might work best for you. For most people, first steps include medications and lifestyle changes. If those don't work for you, angioplasty and stenting can be another option.

Talk to your doctor if you think your treatment isn't controlling your angina well enough.
