anti-anginal drug treatment


Explanation:
The term seems to refer to a specific set of drugs used to treat angina, which would fit with your patient's chest pain. "tp" is "terapia", in this case drug treatment.

"Se espressamente richiesto dallo Specialista Cardiologo, sospendere i farmaci cardioattivi. Si illustra di seguito lo schema per l’eventuale sospensione:
Beta-bloccanti almeno 5 giorni prima dell'esame (N.B. la sospensione deve essere graduale e da concordare con Specialista Cardiologo).
Calcio-antagonisti almeno 2 giorni prima dell'esame.
Nitroderivati ad azione prolungata: 2 giorni prima dell'esame; Nitroderivati ad azione pronta: 3 ore prima."
http://www.asst-lecco.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Scheda_i...

"Questa è ad oggi rappresentata dall’associazione di più principi terapeutici attivi su cuore e circolo coronarico come antiaggreganti (acido acetilsalicilico e tienopiridine), miocardio-protettori (betabloccanti, ACE-inibitori, inibitori dell’angiotensina II, calcio-antagonisti non diidropiridinici), coronaroattivi (nitrati e calcio-antagonisti diidropiridinici), antidislipidemici e stabilizzatori di placca (statine), moderatori
della frequenza cardiaca (ivabradina), metabolici (ranolazina e trimetazina), antiaritmici (amiodarone e ancora betabloccanti)."

"Chronic stable angina is the most prevalent symptom of ischaemic heart disease and its management is a priority. Current guidelines recommend pharmacological therapy with drugs classified as being first line (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, short acting nitrates) or second line (long-acting nitrates, ivabradine, nicorandil, ranolazine, and trimetazidine)."

"The role of nitrates, beta blockers, and calcium antagonists in stable angina pectoris.
Numerous controlled studies have shown that nitrates, beta blockers, and calcium antagonists are effective in the treatment of stable angina pectoris."

standard therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD)


Explanation:
What they mean is the standard therapy for CAD, which includes calcium antagonists, beta blockers and nitrates.

It is important to specify whether the patient who is undergoing myocardial scintigraphy is on this therapy or not as it may affect the test results.
