General Medical Officer (GMO) Manual: Clinical Section: Cardiovascular Disorders Angina Pectoris Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed (1) Introduction Angina is chest discomfort that occurs when the oxygen supply to the myocardium is insufficient to meet its metabolic demands. Classically, the patient will present with a history of substernal chest discomfort (often not described as a "pain" but as a tightness, squeezing, or pressure-like sensation) occurring with exertion and relieved within minutes with rest. This discomfort may radiate to the neck, jaw, or either arm and may be associated with shortness of breath. The diagnosis of angina depends largely on history. Physical exam and laboratory studies are often normal in the chronic stable angina patient. The electrocardiogram (ECG) will be normal in over a third of patients who are pain free on presentation, but may show evidence of prior infarction, an intraventricular conduction delay, or nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities. (2) Differential Diagnosis The differential diagnosis of angina includes a broad range of both cardiac and noncardiac causes of chest discomfort. These include gastroesphageal reflux, diffuse esophageal spasm, pericarditis, aortic dissection, musculoskeletal pain, and pulmonary embolus. By considering the quality, duration, location, and precipitating factors of the chest discomfort, it is usually possible to distinguish angina from these other causes of chest pain.

Angina Vs. Heart Attack Angina may have similar symptoms as a heart attack, such as: a crushing, squeezing pain in the chest a feeling of pressure in the chest pain radiating in the arms, shoulders, jaw, neck, and/or back However, unlike the chest pain associated with a heart attack, the pain from angina usually goes away within a few minutes with rest or with the use of a cardiac prescription medication (i.e., nitroglycerin). Angina Pectoris What is angina pectoris? Angina pectoris (or simply angina) is recurring chest pain or discomfort that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. Angina is a symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when arteries that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis. What are the symptoms of angina pectoris? Angina pectoris occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) does not receive an adequate amount of blood needed for a given level of work (insufficient blood supply is called ischemia). The following are the most common symptoms of angina. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: a pressing, squeezing, or crushing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone

ICU Medical Conditions Angina Pectoris Definition Angina, formally named angina pectoris, ia acute pain in the chest, usually described as a feeling of tightness, strangling, heaviness or suffocation. The pain is normally concentrated on the left side of the chest beginning just under the breastbone (sternum). Sometimes the pain moves to the neck, throat and lower jaw and down the left arm. Individuals experiencing this pain may feel like they are having a heart attack. Angina is a warning sign that the heart is under special stress and needs relief before a heart attack occurs. Causes Angina is caused by a decrease in the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. This is usually caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) in the heart blood vessels. Treatment A person who believes they have angina should be under a doctor's care. The doctor will try to discover and treat the cause of the pain. The goals of treatment are to increase blood flow to the heart itself and to decrease the work the heart performs. Nitroglycerin is frequently used to treat angina. Patients are often told to notify their doctor if the nitroglycerin does not provide relief within 30 minutes. If pain is not relieved, the doctor usually wants to examine the patient right away. This may include calling 911 or an ambulance. When this happens, testing to rule out a heart attack may be necessary. Comments Angina is an important warning sign indicating that the heart muscle is not receiving enough blood and oxygen. The chest pain associated with angina can sometimes be mistaken for the chest pain of a heart attack. Patients with the new onset of angina should seek medical attention.

What is angina pectoris? Angina pectoris is recurring chest pain or discomfort that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. It is a common symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when vessels that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis. Facts about angina pectoris: It is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia which occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) does not get as much blood as it needs for a given level of work. (Insufficient blood supply is called ischemia.) Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone, but sometimes in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Symptoms usually begin with physical exertion, although other triggers include emotional stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking.

Gehen Anginia-pectoris-Schmerzen einem Infarkt immer voran? Welche Schmerzen treten bei Angina-pectoris Anfällen auf? ... Patientenanfragen zum Thema und Antworten vom Kardiologen Was versteht man unter Angina pectoris? Im Rahmen der Koronaren Herzkrankheit entwickeln sich Durchblutungsstörungen der Koronararterien. Es entsteht ein Sauerstoffmangel im Herzen, der mit schmerzhaften Zuständen einhergehen kann, dem sogenannten Angina-pectoris-Anfall. Angina pectoris bedeutet wörtlich "Enge in der Brust". Sie ist ein Symptom, also ein mögliches Zeichen der koronaren Herzkrankheit. Ein Angina-pectoris-Anfall tritt meistens während körperlicher oder seelischer Belastungen auf, weil das Herz dann mehr Arbeit leisten muß. Für diese Mehrarbeit braucht das Herz auch mehr Sauerstoff. Können die Koronararterien diesen zusätzlichen Sauerstoff nicht heranführen, kommt es zu den Schmerzen und Beschwerden eines Angina-pectoris-Anfalls. Eine Verschlechterung der Sauerstoffversorgung des Herzens kann auch ohne Schmerzen oder andere spürbare Symptome auftreten. Solche schmerzfreien Ereignisse nennt man "stumme Ischämien". Bei manchen Patienten sind diese sogar häufiger als schmerzhafte Angina-pectoris-Anfälle.

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).

Lanza Rome, Italy Past-Chairman of the ESC Working Group on Coronary Pathophysiology and Microcirculation Refractory angina pectoris has become an increasingly challenging problem in clinical practice. Several forms of treatment have been tried, but results emerging from clinical studies suggest that spinal cord stimulation and enhanced external counterpulsation present the most favourable risk/cost to benefit profile. Refractory angina pectoris (RAP) is defined as the occurrence of frequent angina attacks uncontrolled by optimal drug therapy, significantly limiting the patients’ daily activities, and with the presence of coronary artery disease rendering percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery unsuitable (CABG) (1). The prevalence of RAP will probably increase in the next years, due to the progressively longer life expectancy of patients with complex or diffuse coronary artery disease. Several alternative forms of therapy have been proposed for RAP, but only a few of them have given rise to sufficient published data (1).

Angina is the chest pain or tightness that occurs when the blood oxygen supply to an area of the heart muscle does not meet the needs or demands of the work it is doing in pumping blood around the body. Angina News Facts and figures Living with angina Treatment It is an indicator of coronary artery disease caused by the build up of fatty deposits in coronary blood vessels supplying blood to the heart muscle, which results in their narrowing. Angina is usually felt as a squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightening, or aching across the chest, particularly behind the breastbone. This pain often spreads to the neck, jaw, arms, back, or even the teeth. Patients may also complain of indigestion, heartburn, weakness, sweating, nausea, cramping, and shortness of breath.
