Angina Pectoris Objectives Define angina. Learn the classification of angina. Learn the clinical signs and symptoms of angina. Understand the clinical work-up of angina, including appropriate history, physical examination, and laboratory and other testing. Learn appropriate indications for cardiac exercise testing and nuclear stress testing. Learn appropriate management of chronic stable angina and unstable angina, including the role of pharmacotherapy, PTCA, and CABG. Definitions Angina pectoris is a syndrome characterized by chest pain resulting from an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand, and is most commonly caused by the inability of atherosclerotic coronary arteries to perfuse the heart under conditions of increased myocardial oxygen consumption. It may also occur in patients with seemingly normal coronary arteries subjected to acute or chronic increase in myocardial work, such as aortic stenosis, hypertension, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Coronary artery spasm, superimposed upon normal or diseased arteries, can provoke pain in the absence of increased myocardial demands such as variant (Prinzmetal's) angina and some cases of stable or unstable angina. There is also a group of patients who have angina without demonstrable evidence of coronary artery disease. Classification of Angina Pectoris Once the history has indicated that chest pain is most likely angina, it has to be decided which of the several clinical syndromes of angina the patient manifests.

Atherosclerosis Heart Disease Coronary Arteries in Heart Disease Angina or Chest Pain ... Cardiac Medications Angina Pectoris What is Angina? When angina occurs part of the heart muscle is not receiving enough blood and oxygen to meet the immediate need. This decrease in blood and oxygen is temporary and usually due to a narrowing in a coronary artery or coronary artery spasm. The symptoms usually last a short time, less than 15 minutes No permanent damage occurs Common causes include: Exertion Emotional stress Eating a heavy meal Extreme temperatures (hot or cold) New symptoms of angina can be a warning of coronary artery disease and should not be ignored. What Symptoms Can Occur With Angina? Burning in throat Indigestion type symptoms Shortness of breath Chest discomfort, pressure, tightness, squeezing Chest discomfort, which may radiate to right or left arm or shoulder Back, neck or jaw pain What Should Be Done When Experiencing Symptoms of Angina? Rest: stop activity and sit or lie down. Take nitroglycerin (NTG) if and as prescribed by the doctor. Notify the doctor if angina is a new symptom or there is a change in an existing angina pattern.

Angina DESCRIPTION: Symptom complex resulting from mismatch of myocardial oxygen demand and supply Classic angina - a sense of choking or of pressure or heaviness deep to the precordium, usually brought on by exertion or anxiety and relieved by rest. Anginal equivalent - exertional dyspnea or exertional fatigue which results from myocardial ischemia and is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin Variant angina - also referred to as Prinzmetal's angina describes angina occurring at rest of in atypical patterns such as after exercise or nocturnally. Prinzmetal's angina is caused by coronary artery spasm and is associated with ECG changes (usually ST elevation) during symptoms Unstable angina - pain which is new or which is changed in character to become more frequent, more severe or both. Unstable angina portends myocardial infarction in a certain percentage of patients. System(s) affected: Cardiovascular Genetics: Coronary artery disease has genetic implications. Incidence/Prevalence in USA: The presenting symptom of coronary artery disease in 38% of men and 61% of women. Predominant age: Most common in middle age and older men; postmenopausal women

Associated persons: Rashid A. Massumi Myron Prinzmetal Description: An unusual and uncommon form of angina, often with long-lasting attacks, in which pain is experienced at rest and sometimes while in bed rather than during activity. It is caused by total occlusion of proximal coronary arteries due to spasm. Most commonly seen during the night and accompanied by severe disturbances of the heart rhythm. The electrocardiogram taken during an attack will indicate S-T segment elevation rather than depression. The condition occurs without preceding changes in heart rate and blood pressure. Most patients have underlying coronary artery disease, but some have normal arteries. A prolonged attack may lead to ventricular arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, heart block, and sudden death.

HealingWithNutrition.com Home SiteMap Education Products Angina Angina is a heavy, tight squeezing pain in the chest caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart (low blood flow to the heart). It generally occurs when the heart is working hard and requires more oxygen: during exercise, at times of stress, in extremes of temperature, soon after a meal. Typically the pain develops at the same point in daily activity: on stairs climbing to the office, at a certain point in the daily walk, etc. The pain often radiates through the left shoulder, arm, or jaw and can last for up to 20 minutes. For some the pain might be intense, while others may feel only a mild discomfortsometimes thinking they are only experiencing indigestion. Some individuals have no symptoms at all"A Silent Heart Attack." Other symptoms include sweating, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, shortness of breath, ringing in the ears, loss of speech, dizziness, fainting. Irregardless of the level of discomfort, any angina is a gravely dangerous situation because it is often the precursor sign of a full heart attack (complete cut off of blood to the heart).

For example, the pain may be confined to left shoulder, throat, jaw or bewteen the shoulder blades. Others may have shortness of breath or sudden weakness, while approximately 10% may have no symptoms even when the heart is severely stressed or undergoing a heart attack. Such patients are said to have a defective warning system. Diabetic patients are more prone to have atypical or no symptoms. Because there are several causes of chest pain that are unrelated to the heart, many patients tend to ignore their symptoms attributing it to heart burn, mitral valve prolapse, a gall bladder attack, muscle sprain, etc. If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease and are having unsual symptoms suggestive of angina or a heart attack, make sure that you consult your doctor about your complaints.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Angina Definition Angina is pain , "discomfort," or pressure localized in the chest that is caused by an insufficient supply of blood ( ischemia ) to the heart muscle. It is also sometimes characterized by a feeling of choking , suffocation, or crushing heaviness. This condition is also called angina pectoris. Description Often described as a muscle spasm and choking sensation, the term "angina" is used primarily to describe chest (thoracic) pain originating from insufficient oxygen to the heart muscle. An episode of angina is not an actual heart attack , but rather pain that results from the heart muscle temporarily receiving too little blood. This temporary condition may be the result of demanding activities such as exercise and does not necessarily indicate that the heart muscle is experiencing permanent damage. In fact, episodes of angina seldom cause permanent damage to heart muscle. Angina can be subdivided further into two categories: angina of effort and variant angina. Angina of effort Angina of effort is a common disorder caused by the narrowing of the arteries ( atherosclerosis ) that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. In the case of angina of effort, the heart (coronary) arteries can provide the heart muscle (myocardium) adequate blood during rest but not during periods of exercise

Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Angina Pectoris Definition of Angina Pectoris Angina pectoris is a term that describes chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia - a condition in which the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle is insufficient. It usually occurs on exertion and is relieved by rest. Angina generally is a symptom of coronary artery disease . In most severe cases, it may occur with minimal effort or at rest. Description of Angina Pectoris Angina pectoris is a common manifestation of coronary artery disease . The pain is caused by reduced blood flow to a segment of heart muscle (myocardial ischemia). It usually lasts for only a few minutes, and an attack is usually quickly relieved by rest or drugs (such as nitroglycerin). Also, it is possible to have myocardial ischemia without experiencing angina. Typically, angina is described as a "pressure" or "squeezing" pain that starts in the center of the chest and may spread to the shoulders or arms (most often on the left side, although either or both sides may be involved), the neck, jaw or back. It is usually triggered by extra demand on the heart: exercise, an emotional upset, exposure to cold, digesting a heavy meal are common examples.
