Chest pain due to a clot which decreases but does not block blood flow. The chest pain is either the new onset of angina or a change in the usual pattern of chest pain or discomfort (getting worse, lasting longer, occurs with less exercise or other stimuli than usual or not being relieved with rest or use of medications).
Unstable angina is dangerous as may be NSTEMI or become a STEMI, and requires urgent intervention, such as adjustment of medications and angioplasty with stents. - p:Marla Penner - 12:12, 2014 October 14 (CDT)
