Abstract

Considerable advances have been made over the past few years in the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for precipitation or exacerbating anginal pain (Maseri, 1983, 1987; Epstein et al., 1988). These advances have modified the therapeutic approach to the syndrome and it seems important to review them before presenting the methods for evaluation of anti-anginal drugs.
