Treatment for patients with angina (per AMBOSS):
"1- All patients: pharmacotherapy for CAD
Start prevention of recurrent CAD, i.e., antiplatelet agents, statins, and management of comorbidities.
2- Start antianginal medication (beta blocker is first line)."
Personally, I know that patients with stable angina should be on three medications: aspirin, statin, and antianginal therapy.
There is a card I can search for if needed, but it basically asks about the first line to prevent recurrence in stable angina, and the answer is aspirin
To prevent confusion between the two cards, this card should say the first line to prevent chest pain (antianginal therapy), and the other card should ask about how to prevent recurrent attacks
I would like to see more in the extra about the three basic medications in for CAD

- Second-line alternatives include nondihydropyridine CCBs, long-acting nitrates, and ranolazine (if β-blockers are contraindicated or do not provide adequate symptom control)
