Advanced Search AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 61/No. 1 (January 1, 2000) Contemporary Management of Angina: Part II. Medical Management of Chronic Stable Angina DIANE R. ZANGER, M.D., ALLEN J. SOLOMON, M.D., BERNARD J. GERSH, M.B., CH.B., D.PHIL. Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C. Except for a small subset of patients with angina whose survival is improved with coronary artery bypass surgery, chronic stable angina can be appropriately managed with medical therapy in the vast majority of patients. Drug therapy includes aspirin, beta-adrenergic blockers, cholesterol-lowering agents and other anti-ischemic drugs that can ameliorate angina and improve the patient's quality of life. Understanding how and when to use these medicines involves knowledge of the mechanisms of these drugs as well as familiarity with the literature supporting their efficacy in various patient populations. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:129-38.) M anagement of stable angina includes eliminating or controlling specific coronary risk factors, implementing lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, controlling precipitating factors and prescribing appropriate anti-ischemic medicines. Measures for eliminating or modifying risk factors include control of hypertension and diabetes, a reduction of the cholesterol level, smoking cessation, weight reduction to the patient's ideal body weight, regular exercise and avoidance of strenuous activities that are known to precipitate angina. Correction of precipitating conditions such as anemia, valvular disease and arrhythmias is also important.

De klachten ontstaan op momenten dat het hart harder moet werken. Bijvoorbeeld bij inspanning of stress, bij heftige emoties, na een zware maaltijd of bij overgang van warmte naar kou. 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.

Mamashealth.com Home Heart Disease Pages Acyanotic Angina Atherosclerosis Arrhythmia ... Rheumatic Heart Disease Links Email Mama The human heart is a pear-shaped structure about the size of a fist. The heart is an amazing organ. It is responsible for supplying the body with oxygenated blood. Each time the heart beats, it exerts a pressure on the veins and arteries called blood pressure. Blood pressure is extremely important and must be controlled if it is too high or low. Blood pressure can be controlled by medication prescribed by your doctor, proper exercise and a diet filled with plants and vegetables. The heart is made of a special kind of muscle called myocardium , and is enclosed in a double-layered, membranous sac called a pericardium. The heart lies in the chest cavity between the lungs . It is composed of four chambers, many large arteries and many veins. The four chambers are called atrium and ventricles. A wall of muscle divides the heart into two cavities: the left cavity pumps blood throughout the body, while the right cavity pumps blood only through the lungs. Two chambers of the heart lie in the left cavity and two chambers lie in the right cavity. The two upper chambers are called atrium, the bottom chambers are called ventricles. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body except for the lungs. The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body. An adult heart beats approximately 100,000 times a day, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood. It has been estimated that the heart will beat about 3 billion times during a 70 year lifetime.

66. Angina angina is chest pain or a sensation of pressure that occurs when the heart muscleis not getting enough oxygen. http://www.csmc.edu/5190.html

Home Medical Dictionary Contact Us About Us ... Angina Angina Angina is chest pain or a sensation of pressure that occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough oxygen. It tends to develop in women at a later age than in men. A form of angina - angina decubitus - occurs when a person is lying down (not necessarily during sleep). It occurs because the fluids in the body are redistributed in this position due to gravity, and the heart has to work harder. Another form - variant angina - occurs from a spasm in the arteries on the surface of the heart. It produces pain during rest rather than physical activity. It also produces changes that are detectable with electrocardiography (ECG) while it is happening. Unstable angina is when the pattern of symptoms changes. Usually, the condition in each individual usually remains constant, so any change - increased pain, more frequent attacks or occurrence at lesser levels of activity or at rest - is a serious matter. It could mean that the coronary artery disease is getting worse rapidly and the risk of a heart attack is high. Unstable angina should be considered a medical emergency.

We subscribe to the HONcode principles. Verify here. Angina (En español) Angina pectoris is a Latin phrase that means "strangling in the chest." Patients often say that angina is like a squeezing, suffocating, or burning feeling in their chest, but an episode of angina is not a heart attack. Unlike a heart attack, the heart muscle is not damaged forever, and the pain usually goes away with rest. What causes angina? Angina is the pain you feel when a diseased vessel in your heart (called a coronary artery) can no longer deliver enough blood to a part of your heart to meet its need for oxygen. The heart's lack of oxygen-rich blood is called ischemia. Angina usually happens when your heart has an extra need for oxygen-rich blood, like during exercise. Other triggers can be emotional stress, extreme cold or hot temperatures, heavy meals, alcohol, and smoking. Angina attacks in men usually happen after the age of 30 and are nearly always caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). For women, angina tends to happen later in life and can be caused by many different factors. Causes other than CAD include narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart (aortic stenosis), a low number of red blood cells in the bloodstream (anemia), or an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain, and is usually the primary symptom of myocardial ischemia, a condition where the heart does not get as much blood as it needs, as well as other heart disease. Symptoms of Angina Pectoris Angina feels like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, or pain in the chest area. It can occur when the body is under exertion, as in stable angina, or when the body is at rest, as in the case of unstable angina. Although angina pectoris is not a heart attack , it is a sign that someone is at an increased risk of having a heart attack, and should receive medical attention. Risk Factors of Angina Pectoris The risk factors for experiencing angina are similar to risk factors for developing coronary artery disease , and include: High blood pressure Cigarette smoking High cholesterol Overweight/obesity Types of Angina Pectoris There are four main types of angina pectoris: Stable angina - Chest pain is usually predictable and is brought on when the person is under physical exertion or emotional or mental stress. Pain can be relieved with rest or medication (nitroglycerin).

72. Angina Pectoris - Wikipedia Beschrijving en behandeling van angina pectoris. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina_pectoris

Angina pectoris Angina pectoris is een drukkend of zwaar gevoel of pijn midden op de borst dat ontstaat als de hartspier niet voldoende bloed toegevoerd krijgt om het hart zijn werk te laten doen. Meestal wordt dit veroorzaakt door vernauwing van de kransslagaders , vaak in combinatie met lichamelijke inspanning of emotie waardoor het hart krachtiger gaat kloppen en dus meer zuurstof nodig heeft. Bij afnemende zuurstofbehoefte van het hart verdwijnt de angina pectoris dan weer. De pijn die ontstaat door een plotseling optredende verstopping van een kransslagader door een bloedstolsel ( trombus of embolie infarct hartaanval ) op. Angina pectoris kan worden bestreden door de bloedvaten medicamenteus te verwijden of door de inspanning terug te brengen. Ook het verlagen van de bloeddruk leidt ertoe dat het hart minder arbeid hoeft te leveren en zal dus een anti-angineus effect hebben. De kans op het ontwikkelen van angina pectoris wordt vergroot als iemand rookt, te dik is, of een te hoge bloeddruk heeft. Ook bij suikerziekte, een te hoog cholestorolgehalte, en bij mensen bij wie in de familie op jongere leeftijd (voor het 60ste levensjaar) hart- en vaatziekte voorkomt is de kans op het ontwikkelen van angina pectoris duidelijk vergroot. Met name bij mensen met suikerziekte diabetes mellitus ) komt het voor dat de pijn niet door de pati«nt wordt gevoeld terwijl er wel degelijk een zuurstoftekort van de hartspier bestaat.
