There are two types of angina, stable and unstable. With stable angina it is easy to diagnose and predict when symptoms will occur. It is also usually treatable with medication, PCI or bypass. Lifestyle and diet change can also have a big impact on relieving symptoms. With unstable angina it is more difficult to diagnose because symptoms can be very intermittent. This condition is basically caused by coronary arteries going into a spasm, squeezing and restricting blood flow.
There are different types of angina. The unstable angina requires immediate attention, while the stable angina can be treated with medications.

In patients suffering from unstable angina, the risk was reduced by 51 percent. Aspirin can prevent first heart attack and stroke in individuals with angina.
