[ANMCO Position paper in collaboration with ITACARE-P: Anti-ischemic treatment in patients with chronic coronary syndrome].

Over the last decade, pharmacological therapies for primary and secondary prevention of chronic coronary syndromes enriched with new agents have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing cardiovascular adverse events. However, currently available evidence on treatment for anginal symptom control is weaker. This position paper of the Italian Association of Hospital Cardiologists (ANMCO) aims to briefly report evidence that supports the use of anti-ischemic drugs for chronic coronary syndromes. Furthermore, we propose a therapeutic algorithm for the choice of the most appropriate drug on the basis of the clinical characteristics of the individual patient.
