HOME SITE INDEX CONTACT US TIPS ... Publications Facts About Angina What is angina? ANGINA PECTORIS ("ANGINA") IS A recurring pain or discomfort in the chest 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 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. Angina is usually precipitated by exertion. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medicine. What brings on angina? Episodes of angina occur when the heart's need for oxygen increases beyond the oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart. Physical exertion is the most common trigger for angina. Other triggers can be emotional stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking. Does angina mean a heart attack is about to happen?

index search health books site map Angina Angina or angina pectoris refers to a pain in the centre of the chest which comes from the heart. Symptoms You experience a pain in the centre of the chest, which may also travel into the neck, jaw, and arms (especially the left). Angina is usually described as a crushing or heavy or gripping pain. It mostly follows exercise, but may also be triggered by emotion, digesting a heavy meal, or going out in a cold wind. Sometimes it is associated with breathlessness. Causes Angina is rather similar to cramp in a muscle during vigorous exercise. It is caused by the muscles of the heart not receiving enough oxygen (via the blood) for the work they are performing. This is because the blood vessels which supply the heart muscles with oxygen have become narrowed. The main cause of narrowing of the blood vessels is age, but this is accelerated by cigarette smoking. To a lesser extent people with a high cholesterol level, people who are obese (overweight), and diabetics are also more at risk. Diagnosis Diagnosis of angina is largely from the history. That is, there has been pain, usually brought on by exertion, which is situated as indicated above, usually goes off within a few minutes when you stop what you are doing, and is relieved by sucking a GTN (glyceryl trinitrate) tablet under the tongue.

Rheumatic Heart Disease Links Email Mama Angina, or angina pectoris, is the medical term for chest pains behind the breastbone. Angina pectoris is Latin for squeezing of the chest. Angina is a specific type of pain in the chest caused by inadequate blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium). Angina, characterized by chest pain, is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia , which occurs when the heart muscle isn't getting as much blood as it needs to function. Angina is not a disease itself. It is the primary symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina can also be a warning sign of heart attack. Angina usually indicates a partial blockage in blood flow to the heart. Symptoms Increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, chest pain described as a feeling of tightness, pressure, heaviness, squeezing, or burning. This pain is usually on the left side and radiates to the lower jaw, neck, shoulder, back, arm, or hand. Other symptoms include burning in throat, feelings of indigestion and shortness of breath.

About Us Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Angina, also called angina pectoris, is a symptom of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Chest pain, pressure, and discomfort—commonly known as angina —result when the coronary arteries do not deliver an adequate amount of oxygen-rich blood to the heart (called ischemia). Types Angina is classified broadly as stable or unstable, depending on its pattern of occurrence and severity. Stable angina occurs when increased physical activity (e.g., hurrying across a street or climbing a long flight of stairs) creates a greater demand for oxygen-rich blood to reach heart tissue. Unstable angina occurs with lesser degrees of exertion or while at rest. This type increases in frequency and duration and worsens in severity. Unstable angina is an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that requires immediate medical attention.

DiagnosisHealth.com Home Other Articles Health Discussions Disease Information Center ANGINA LIKE CHEST PAIN About the author: Dr . Minocha is a practicing gastroenterologist and author of "Natural Stomach Care: Treating and Preventing Digestive Disorders with Best of Eastern and Western Therapies" Many otherwise healthy patients continue to suffer from angina like chest pain even after the investigations for heart disease are normal. This recurrent chest pain in patients despite no apparent heart abnormality is not a new diagnosis. Physicians have been confronted with it for centuries. The cause, despite extensive research continues to evade medical science. The relative significance of abnormalities seen in the coronary microcirculation, esophageal motility, acid reflux and psychological and psychiatric problems (panic disorder, anxiety disorder etc.) and mental stress need to be resolved. Recent studies implicate a heightened state of nociperception in the pathogenesis, angina, anxiety, and mental stress reflux. The chest pain of GERD can feel like atypical or many a times typical angina or heart attack promting many patients to rush to the emergency room. Many a times, neither a patient or physician can distinguish the pain related to GERD from the heart attack. Remember, heart attack can kill, but not the GERD attack, so it is important not to jump to the conclusion that the pain is caused by acid reflux.

DCI Home Angina : What Is ... What Is ... Other Names Causes Who Is At Risk ... Links What Is Angina? (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle does not get enough blood. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. The pain may also occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It may also feel like indigestion. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) , the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries. This buildup of plaque is called atherosclerosis . As plaque builds up, the coronary arteries become narrow and stiff. Blood flow to the heart is reduced. This decreases the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Types of Angina There are 3 types of angina-stable, unstable, and variant (Prinzmetal's). It is very important to know the differences among the types. Stable angina . Stable angina is the most common type. It occurs when the heart is working harder than usual. There is a regular pattern to stable angina.
