(an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle does not get enough blood. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. The pain may also occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It may also feel like indigestion. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) , the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries. This buildup of plaque is called atherosclerosis . As plaque builds up, the coronary arteries become narrow and stiff. Blood flow to the heart is reduced. This decreases the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Types of Angina There are 3 types of angina-stable, unstable, and variant (Prinzmetal's). It is very important to know the differences among the types. Stable angina . Stable angina is the most common type. It occurs when the heart is working harder than usual. There is a regular pattern to stable angina.

NATURAL ANGINA PECTORIS, ISCHEMIA OF EFFORT and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA CURE? by George Eby revision date: Aug 14, 2005 Article Abstract on PubMed What is Angina Pectoris? According to the American Heart Association , angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia. It occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) doesn't get as much blood (hence as much oxygen) as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart's arteries (blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle) is narrowed or blocked. Insufficient blood supply is called ischemia. Angina also can occur in people with valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (this is an enlarged heart due to disease) or uncontrolled high blood pressure. These cases are rare, though. Typical angina is uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest. The discomfort also may be felt in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back or arm. Many types of chest discomfort aren't related to angina. Acid reflux (heartburn) and lung infection or inflammation are examples. One needs to go to the Center for Disease Control page to learn that: "Blockages in the arteries in our body is caused by arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) brought on, and/or aggravated, by several health risk factors. The main culprit ingredient is cholesterol, which mostly come from saturated fats that we eat, like red meats (pork, beef, etc.), eggs, butter, lard, dairy products, etc. Ingestion of these foods leads to high level of the bad cholesterol, which thickens the blood consistency, which leads to thick cholesterol "paint" deposits on the inside walls of the tiny coronary arteries, which are only 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter, like the size of a round toothpick. This situation is like using thick paint applied layers after layers, every second, day after day, year after year, onto the inner walls of these tiny pipes. Just like the sewer or drain pipes in our homes, this cholesterol "junk" could clog up our coronary arteries, as small as they are."

Medical information for patients index search health books site map Angina Angina or angina pectoris refers to a pain in the centre of the chest which comes from the heart. Symptoms You experience a pain in the centre of the chest, which may also travel into the neck, jaw, and arms (especially the left). Angina is usually described as a crushing or heavy or gripping pain. It mostly follows exercise, but may also be triggered by emotion, digesting a heavy meal, or going out in a cold wind. Sometimes you may also feel breathless. Causes Angina is rather similar to cramp in a muscle during vigorous exercise. It is caused by the muscles of the heart not receiving enough oxygen (via the blood) for the work they are performing. This is because the blood vessels which supply the heart muscles with oxygen have become narrowed. The main cause of narrowing of the blood vessels is age, but this is accelerated by cigarette smoking. To a lesser extent people with a high cholesterol level, people who are obese (overweight), and diabetics are also more at risk.

Angina is like a squeezing pain or a pressing feeling in the chest. This pain may come from blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This condition is called coronary artery disease (sometimes simply called "heart disease."). Angina can bother you when you are doing activities like walking, climbing stairs, exercising or cleaning. The pain of angina may make you sweat or make it hard to catch your breath. You may feel pain in your arm or neck as well as in your chest. If the pain is mild, it may go away after a minute or so of rest. If the pain is more severe, medicine may be needed. A medicine called nitroglycerin often is used to treat severe angina. Some people have angina that comes on with a certain level of activity and goes away easily. They may have this kind of angina for a long time. This is called stable angina.

De huisarts geeft de brief mee aan patiënten met de betreffende ziekte of aandoening. De tekst gaat ervan uit dat de patiënt al door de huisarts is gezien en dat de informatie uit de brief is besproken. De adviezen in de brief gelden alleen voor mensen bij wie de diagnose is gesteld. De informatie dient niet als vervanging van een consult door de huisarts. Bedenk bij het lezen dat uw gezondheidssituatie anders kan zijn dan in de teksten wordt beschreven. Wat is angina pectoris? Angina pectoris is een pijnlijk, drukkend gevoel op de borst dat optreedt bij inspanning en weer verdwijnt als u even rust. De pijn kan naar uw hals, kaak, schouder of arm trekken. Angina pectoris is een hart- en vaatziekte die wordt veroorzaakt door aderverkalking (atherosclerose). Hierbij ontstaan vernauwingen in de kransslagaderen. De kransslagaders zorgen voor de aanvoer van zuurstofrijk bloed naar de hartspier. Hoe ontstaan de klachten?

MEDCEU COURSE MATERIAL Study this material before taking your quiz. By the end of this course, the learner will be able to: Identify the clinical symptoms of angina. Describe three types of angina. Identify the major diagnostic tests for angina. Identify the various medical therapies for angina including invasive therapeutic procedures. Overview: A typical patient with angina is 50-60 year-old male or a 65 to 75-year old woman. The Framingham Study, a long term study started in 1949 consisting of 5127 men and women who since have been examined at two-year intervals to determine factors relating to the development of heart disease, has determined that one in four men with angina can expect to have a myocardial infarction within 5 years; that for women the risk is about half that for men; and that the 8-year mortality rate in patients with angina who are over 55 is about 30%, of which about 44% of the deaths will be sudden. Angina is estimated to effect 7,120,000 people in the United States and 350,000 new cases of angina occur each year. The estimated crude prevalence of angina: for non-Hispanic white women is 4.1%, for men is 3.4%; for non-Hispanic black women 4.6%, and men 2.6%; for Mexican-American women 4.6% and men 3.4%.

Angina is a specific type of pain in the chest caused by inadequate blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium). Angina, characterized by chest pain, is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia , which occurs when the heart muscle isn't getting as much blood as it needs to function. Angina is not a disease itself. It is the primary symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina can also be a warning sign of heart attack. Angina usually indicates a partial blockage in blood flow to the heart. Symptoms Increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, chest pain described as a feeling of tightness, pressure, heaviness, squeezing, or burning. This pain is usually on the left side and radiates to the lower jaw, neck, shoulder, back, arm, or hand. Other symptoms include burning in throat, feelings of indigestion and shortness of breath.

Angina , or angina pectoris , refers to symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina is often the first sign of heart disease. The heart is a muscle that gets blood from blood vessels called the coronary arteries . If one or more of your coronary arteries has a blockage that reduces blood flow to your heart from time to time, you may have angina. Source of enlargement: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Narrowed and blocked arteries are usually due to a gradual buildup of fatty deposits called plaque inside the arteries.
