Consults: Angina is stable, no consult or referral is needed at this time. Therapeutic Modalities: Treatment is targeted at symptom relief and decrease disease progression to lessen event occurrence that could result in a myocardial infarction or even death (Alaeddini, 2018). Pharmacological management will include: 1. Aspirin 81 mg one tab daily (Johnson, 2018). 2. Simvastatin 40 mg daily at bedtime (Johnson, 2018). 3. Nitro stat 0.4 mg, 1 sublingual tablet dissolved under the tongue as needed for angina. May repeat every 5 minutes if needed for 15 minutes, a maximum of 3 doses (Johnson, 2018). Non-pharmacological management will include: 1. Advise patient to quit smoking to decrease the development of atherosclerosis (Alaeddini, 2018). 2. Participate in an exercise program to better control blood pressure and weight, such as joining a gym, taking walks or biking (Osborn, 2020). 3. Advise patient on the importance of a heart-healthy diet to decrease the “bad” cholesterol and improve the “good” cholesterol. Diet changes may include eating more fruits and veggies; eat more healthy fats such as chicken and fish; increase fiber and omega-3 such as beans, salmon and walnuts (Osborn, 2020).
