Answer to Question 1

2
Amlodipine, diltiazem hydrochloride, and nicardipine are all calcium channel blockers. Atenolol is a beta-blocker.

Answer to Question 2

1
The primary goal for the treatment of stable angina is to improve the quality of life by decreasing episodes of angina and ischemia. The second goal is to increase the quantity of life by preventing progression to myocardial infarction and death. Reduction of risk factors and education are both parts of a treatment plan.
