T
ens of thousands in the United States and Canada
suffer from chronic angina that is persistently
symptomatic (sometimes referred to as "refractory" or
resistant) to standard therapies. Despite best efforts to
help them with lifestyle changes, medications, stents and
surgery, they live with ongoing pain and a severely
limited ability to undertake normal daily activities. This
symposium will bring together key thought leaders in
Cardiology, Electrophysiology and Interventional
Cardiology to review the currently available treatments
for these challenging patients as well as discuss research
underway which could lead to future therapies.
