Situations that suggest referral to a specialist is appropriate include:
 
  1. When chronic stable angina becomes unpredictable in its characteristics and precipitating factors
  2. When a post-myocardial infarction patient develops new-onset angina
  3. When standard therapy is not successful in improving exercise tolerance or reducing the incidence of angina
  4. All of the above

Question 2

Cost of antianginal drug therapy should be considered in drug selection because of all of the following EXCEPT:
 
  1. Patients often require multiple drugs
  2. A large number of angina patients are older adults on fixed incomes
  3. Generic formulations may be cheaper but are rarely bioequivalent
  4. Lack of drug selectivity may result in increased adverse reactions
