해설
Unstable angina is characterized by chest pain that occurs at rest, lasts longer than usual, and is not completely relieved by nitroglycerin, indicating a change from the patient's usual pattern. Stable angina (options 1, 2, 4) follows predictable patterns with exertion or stress and is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.
