Angina is often brought on by exercise. Angina pectoris derives from Latin and translates as 'tight chest'. It feels like an oppressive, heavy, crushing pain or a constricting feeling in the centre of the chest behind the breast bone (sternum) or on the left side of the front of the chest. The pain can radiate out to either one or both arms, more often the left. It can be experienced in the throat, jaw, the stomach and, more rarely, between the shoulder blades.

43. Angina - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia angina pectoris is a lack of oxygen supply to the heart muscle, angina pectorisis a common symptom of myocardial ischemia (most often chest pain). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

Angina From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Angina This is about chest pain due to oxygen shortage in the heart. For angina tonsillaris see tonsillitis Angina pectoris is a lack of oxygen supply to the heart muscle, due to a reduced blood flow around the heart's blood vessels. This lack of oxygen to the heart is known as myocardial ischemia . Angina pectoris is a common symptom of myocardial ischemia (most often chest pain ). People with coronary artery disease are most often affected by angina. Angina comes from the Greek ankhon , meaning "strangling", pectoris is Latin for "chest", therefore angina pectoris is a strangling feeling in the chest. Angina is the most common symptom of myocardial ischemia. It is caused by stimulation of nerve endings in the heart muscle and its blood vessels. Contents Pathophysiology Epidemiology Symptoms Treatment ... edit Pathophysiology Increases in heart rate result in increased oxygen demand by the heart. The heart has a limited ability to increase its oxygen intake during episodes of increased demand. Therefore, an increase in oxygen demand by the heart (e.g., during exercise) has to be met by a proportional increase in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial ischemia can result from: a reduction of blood flow to the heart caused by the stenosis or spasm of the heart's arteries

How is angina treated? Tests Now Performed in Many Medical Centers What are the symptoms of a heart attack? How is a heart attack treated? Is there any way to reduce the chance of a heart attack? What is a heart attack? Heart attacks result from blood vessel disease in the heart. Coronary heart disease (CHD), sometimes referred to as coronary artery disease (CAD), are more general names for heart attack (and angina). A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself (the myocardium) is severely reduced or stopped. This occurs when one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle) is blocked by an obstruction, often plaque due to atherosclerosis. A heart attack also can be caused by a blood clot lodged in a coronary artery. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coro- nary occlusion. If the blood supply is cut off drastically or for a long time, muscle cells suffer irreversible injury and die. Disability or death can result, depending on how much heart muscle is damaged.

In the United States, almost 6.5 million people have angina, and it is newly diagnosed in about 350,000 people each year. Angina tends to develop in women at a later age than in men. On average, angina occurs in about 3.9% of white women, 6.2% of black women, and 5.5% of Hispanic women and in about 2.6% of white men, 3.1% of black men, and 4.1% of Hispanic men. Narrowing of the arteries due to fatty deposits (atheroma) or occasionally due to another abnormality may interfere with blood flow to the heart muscle and prevent it from receiving enough blood and oxygen. An inadequate blood supply (ischemia) to the heart sometimes causes angina. Angina usually first occurs during physical exertion or emotional distress, which make the heart work harder and increase its need for oxygen. The reduced blood flow through narrowed arteries cannot meet this increased need. If the artery is narrowed enough (usually by more than 70%), angina can occur even at rest, when the demands on the heart are at their minimum.

The word angina comes from the Latin angerer , which means to strangle. Angina pain A first attack of angina pain typically starts during exercise such as walking uphill. It may be feel like a heavy weight or a tightening across the upper chest. Angina pain is especially likely to occur when walking after a meal, or in cold, windy weather. Anger or stress tend to makes it worse. The pain can move to the neck, throat or arms — making you feel that you are choking or that both arms are dead weights. The pain doesn’t usually last for more than a few minutes and goes fairly quickly after resting. As well as the pain, there may be breathlessness, sweatiness and a sense of fear. Angina affects about one in 50 people and can have different causes. It can often be controlled with a combination of medication and lifestyle changes.

Angina Angina is caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries. Usual treatments include medication to lower your cholesterol level, and low-dose aspirin to help prevent a heart attack. Also, medication can ease and prevent angina pains. In some cases, angioplasty or surgery are options to widen, or to bypass, narrowed arteries. What is angina? Angina is a pain that comes from the heart. It is common in people over the age of 50. Sometimes it occurs in younger people. It is more common in men than women. This leaflet is about the common type of angina which is caused by narrowing in the arteries of the heart. (Angina is sometimes caused by uncommon disorders of the heart valves or heart muscle.) Understanding the arteries of the heart The heart is mainly made of special muscle. The muscle pumps blood into arteries (blood vessels) which take the blood to every part of the body. Like any other muscle, the heart muscle needs a good blood supply. The coronary arteries take blood to the heart muscle. The coronary arteries are the first arteries to branch off the aorta. The aorta is the large artery which takes blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the body. What causes angina?

Coronary Artery Disease All these conditions and many more coronary, artery or heart conditions are a result of furred up arteries; arteries that become blocked either fully or partially with fatty plaque known as atheroma. This one process of furring up the arteries causes all of the above conditions and is therefore the western world's biggest killer. Raymond Gaftarnick found out some four years ago that his arteries were blocked by up to 50%. When he asked the Consultant how serious this was, he was told "Put it this way, I wouldn't want arteries like yours at your age." "The consultants comments scared me into doing something." said Raymond,"I gathered as much information about my condition as possible from various different sources. I used this information to good effect by adding a handful of products that can be bought in your local supermarket to my daily diet."

Go to Cardiovascular Epidemiology Homepage What is angina pectoris? ... Triggering events What is angina pectoris? Angina Pectoris is recurring acute chest pain or discomfort resulting from decreased blood supply to the heart muscle(myocardial ischemia). Angina occurs when the heart’s need for oxygen increases beyond the level of oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart (8). Angina is a common symptom for coronary heart disease (CHD)(9). The symptoms of angina include mild or severe pain, pressure, or discomfort in the chest, the pain is generally described as a feeling of a squeezing, strangling, heaviness, or suffocation sensation in the chest(8, 9). What risks are associated with angina pectoris? Angina indicates that CHD is present and that some part of the heart is not receiving an adequate blood supply. Episodes of angina seldom cause permanent damage to the heart muscle. Angina pectoris is a temporary part of the heart muscle not getting enough blood, whereas a heart attack occurs when some part of the heart is suddenly and permanently cut off from the blood supply which causes permanent damage to the heart muscle (8). Patients who have already suffered a coronary heart disease (CHD) event such as angina pectoris are at considerably increased risk of recurrent fatal or non-fatal events compared with healthy individuals of the same age(1). Angina pectoris is thought to be a precursor to approximately 40 percent of acute coronary events (1).

GERSH, M.B., CH.B., D.PHIL. Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C. D espite a decline in mortality from cardiovascular disease, it remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Moreover, the morbidity and socioeconomic consequences of coronary heart disease will be accentuated in future years by the growing numbers of elderly persons in the U.S. population and the increased frequency of ischemic heart disease in the elderly. New diagnostic techniques allow earlier diagnosis of coronary artery disease, and noninvasive and invasive therapies provide an opportunity for earlier management of this disease. Chronic stable angina, a manifestation of coronary artery disease, can represent increased morbidity and mortality from the disease. It is generally accepted that coronary revascularization alleviates anginal symptoms and, in specific subgroups, improves mortality as well.
