Yeah, It has more risk of developing than stable, so the treatment is more aggressive

Unstable angina would also have resting ECG changes like ST deps and T inversions
Yes unstable angina has a higher risk of progression to MI

angina is said to be unstable if
- it is new onset
- increasing in frequency
- increasing in severity
- occuring with greadually decreasing level of activity
- present at rest
In between the attacks the ECG is normal. So i dont think there are any resting ECG changes if pt is symptom free at rest.
Its a clinical diagnosis with no special test to diefferentiate between unstable and stable angina.
Yes it should be taken as impending MI

i think diagnosis of unstable angina itself warrants anticoagulation
