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).

Angina pectoris: Angina pectoris can be diagnosed without technical devices; the decisive point is the history. The term "Angina pectoris" does not include every "feeling of tightness in the chest," but automatically steers suspicion toward a diagnosis of coronary heart disease when the possibility of stenosis of the aortic valve is out of question. Independent of how the presence of coronary heart disease was determined, be it through coronary angiography and/or a heart attack, a diagnosis of Angina pectoris should always be taken very seriously. I. Angina pectoris with coronary heart disease 1. Stable Angina The classic case of Angina pectoris is characterized by a stress-dependent, retrosternal feeling of pressure, lasting from seconds to several minutes; the sensation can radiate into the neck, lower jaw, left arm and back. Precordial sensations that radiate into the left arm are often signified as "atypical," but are in any case to be taken seriously when they are stress dependent and reproducible. Typical for Angina pectoris is fast (within minutes) response to sublingually applied nitroglycerin or isosorbide dinitrate. Diagnostics: The guidelines for obligatory and optional diagnostic measures regarding Angina pectoris are controversial. Some cardiologists principally prescribe coronary angiography (Arrow A), when no other reasons, such as age, poor patient condition or another illness contraindicate such a procedure. Other cardiologists advocate using coronary angiography only with objective proof of ischemia (ECG after work, stress echocardiography, myocardial scintigraphy) (Arrow B).

Do not drive yourself. Call 911 for emergency transport. Angina, or angina pectoris, is the medical term used to describe temporary chest discomfort that occurs when the heart is not getting enough blood. The heart is a muscle (myocardium) and gets its blood supply from the coronary arteries. The blood carries the oxygen and nutrients that the heart needs to keep pumping. When the heart does not get enough blood, it can no longer function at its full capacity. When physical exertion, strong emotions, extreme temperatures, or eating increase the demand on the heart, the person feels temporary pain, pressure, fullness, or squeezing in the center of the chest or in the neck, shoulder, jaw, upper arm, or upper back. This is angina, especially if the discomfort is relieved by removing the stressor and/or taking sublingual (under the tongue) nitroglycerin. The discomfort of angina is temporary, meaning a few seconds or minutes, not hours or all day.

Search September 8, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Circulatory Problems Angina Pectoris Angina Pectoris Causes Angina is classified as one of the following two types: Stable angina Unstable angina Stable angina is the most common angina and the type most people mean when they say angina. People with stable angina usually have angina symptoms on a regular basis. The episodes occur in a pattern and are predictable. For most people, this involves angina symptoms after exertion such as climbing the stairs or running to catch an elevator. Stable angina symptoms last less than 5 minutes. They are usually relieved by rest or medication, such as nitroglycerin under the tongue. Unstable angina is a less common type. Angina symptoms are unpredictable and often occur at rest. This may indicate a worsening of stable angina, but sometimes the first time a person has angina it is already unstable. The symptoms are worse in unstable angina, meaning the pains are more frequent, more severe, last longer, occur at rest, and not relieved by nitroglycerin under the tongue. Unstable angina is not the same as a heart attack, but it warrants an immediate visit to your health care provider or a hospital emergency department. You may need to be hospitalized to prevent a heart attack.

What is angina pectoris? Angina pectoris is the name given to a tight pain felt in the chest that occurs when insufficient oxygen is being carried in the blood to the muscles of the heart. ‘Stable’ angina pectoris usually occurs when the demand for oxygen cannot be met during exertion. ‘Unstable’ angina pectoris can occur at any time, including at rest. Angina pectoris is a fairly common condition in men over the age of 50 years (although it can start as young as age 30). In women, it generally starts after the menopause. What causes angina pectoris and who is at risk? Angina is the result of coronary artery disease, which is the main cause of death in the western world. Hard deposits (known by doctor as ‘atheromatous plaques’) line the inside of the arteries in the heart, the coronary arteries, narrowing them. This reduces the amount of blood that can flow through them and thus the amount of oxygen delivered to the heart tissue. The risk factors for coronary artery disease are both inherited and due to lifestyle. Genetic predisposing factors include being male, having high blood pressure and having a family history of coronary artery disease. Risks due to lifestyle include smoking, high fat intake with high blood cholesterol levels and obesity.

Angina From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Angina pectoris 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.

Hardening of the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) that feed the heart is usually the underlying problem; it is important for treatment and prevention of angina (and for overall health) to learn more about atherosclerosis . Coronary artery spasms may also cause angina. There are three main types of angina. The first is called stable angina. This type of chest pain comes on during exercise and is both common and predictable. Stable angina is most often associated with atherosclerosis. A second type, called variant angina, can occur at rest or during exercise. This type is primarily due to sudden coronary artery spasm, though atherosclerosis may also be a component. The third, most severe type is called unstable angina. This angina occurs with no predictability and can quickly lead to a heart attack . Anyone with significant, new chest pain or a worsening of previously mild angina must seek medical care immediately.
