Does heart disease ever go away? Angina and Heart Disease Printer-friendly version Email this article What is angina? Angina (say "ann-gye-na") is chest pain. Angina is like a squeezing pain or a pressing feeling in the chest. This pain may come from blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This condition is called coronary artery disease (sometimes simply called "heart disease."). Angina can bother you when you are doing activities like walking, climbing stairs, exercising or cleaning. The pain of angina may make you sweat or make it hard to catch your breath. You may feel pain in your arm or neck as well as in your chest. If the pain is mild, it may go away after a minute or so of rest. If the pain is more severe, medicine may be needed. A medicine called nitroglycerin often is used to treat severe angina. Some people have angina that comes on with a certain level of activity and goes away easily. They may have this kind of angina for a long time. This is called stable angina.

Angina ("Angina Pectoris") For many people there are warning signs that the blood supply to the heart muscle is becoming poor. These warning signs can appear long before any permanent heart damage, a heart attack , occurs. One of these warning signs is 'angina'. Angina is the pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen from the blood to meet its needs. Like a heart attack, angina pain can involve the chest, neck, jaw, shoulders, arms and back, but it is relieved quickly by rest, or sometimes by medications such as nitroglycerine, and no permanent heart damage occurs. In addition, some people become aware that the blood supply to their heart is reduced because they begin to have shortness of breath or unusual tiredness when doing activities they used to find easy. At first, angina pain may only happen during times when the heart has to work harder. For example, during exercise, when out in cold weather or extreme heat, following a large meal or during periods of increased excitement or stress. As the blood flow through the 'coronary arteries' (the arteries that supply the needs of the heart - see diagram below) continues to decrease, however, angina may begin to occur at rest as well. Angina pain usually occurs as a result of gradual narrowing and hardening of the coronary arteries ( atherosclerosis ), but may also occur as a result of a blood clot, spasms in the arteries, rapid heart rate or irregularities in the heart beat (arrhythmias).

Special Medical Reports - October 1, 1999 - American Academy Of Family Physician The American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association and the American College of Physicians­American Society of Internal Medicine have developed recommendations for the management of chronic stable angina. http://www.aafp.org/afp/991001ap/special.html

Advanced Search Special Medical Reports Sharon Scott Morey Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and the executive summary of the guidelines is published in the June 7, 1999 issue of Circulation. The document is also available on the ACC Web site ( http://www.acc.org ) and the AHA Web site ( http://www.americanheart.org The recommendations are divided into four sections that cover diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment and follow-up. Each recommendation is assigned a rank for the weight of the evidence. The highest rank is A, which signifies that the data were derived from multiple randomized clinical trials of a large number of patients. An intermediate rank of B denotes data derived from a limited number of randomized trials of a small number of patients or from careful analyses of nonrandomized studies or observational registries. The lowest rank of evidence, C, was assigned when expert consensus was the primary basis for the recommendation. As is customary with ACC/AHA recommendations, classifications of I, II and III were used to categorize the recommendations according to the weight of the evidence. The three classifications are defined as follows:

The word angina comes from the Latin angerer , which means to strangle. Angina pain A first attack of angina pain typically starts during exercise such as walking uphill. It may be feel like a heavy weight or a tightening across the upper chest. Angina pain is especially likely to occur when walking after a meal, or in cold, windy weather. Anger or stress tend to makes it worse. The pain can move to the neck, throat or arms — making you feel that you are choking or that both arms are dead weights. The pain doesn’t usually last for more than a few minutes and goes fairly quickly after resting. As well as the pain, there may be breathlessness, sweatiness and a sense of fear. Angina affects about one in 50 people and can have different causes. It can often be controlled with a combination of medication and lifestyle changes.

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.

OTORRHINOLARYNGOLOGY CHRISTIANE RIBEIRO ANIAS Medstudents' Homepage Ludwig's Angina Introduction It is the most commonly encountered neck space infection. It is a rapidly swelling cellulitis of the sublingual and submaxillary spaces, often arising from infection of the tooth roots (molars and pre-molars) that extend below the mylohyoid line of the mandible. Although most abscesses in the spaces are caused by dental infections (80% ), they can also result from foci in the floor of the mouth, the base of the tongue, the lingual tonsils, salivary calculi or from intravenous injection of the internal jugular vein especially in drug abusers. Clinical Manifestations The patient is severely ill and toxic, has edema and erytema of the neck under the chin and often of the floor of the mouth. There is intense pain on tongue moviment and the patient may be severe dehydrated owing to inability to take anything by mouth. The mouth is open and the tongue is lifted upwards and backwards, so that it is pushed against the roof of the mouth and the posterior pharyngeal wall, when this occurs, acute respiratory obstruction is likely to occur. There is difficulty in opening the mouth if the swelling has spread into the pterygoid region. Examination shows a brawny tense swelling of the submaxillary and submental regions with enlargement of all the neighbouring lymph

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.

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.

Angina Angina Home And when you get better, remember. Samuel Hahnemann, MD It was a bit odd to have a conversation with my 67-year-old father about his sex life. "I'm on this medicine, Andrew," he said. "It's for angina. My doctor sent me to a heart specialist, and they both agreed I have to take it. The problem is that it causes impotence." I let that image sink in for a minute, as he continued. "Is there any one of your natural remedies that will substitute for the angina medicine?" he asked. Historically, it was an unusual event for my dad to ask my view about anything. One of his mottoes was, "If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you." So I was duly impressed with the gravity of the situation. "Vitamin E, Pa, " I said. "High doses of vitamin E have been used to treat angina since the early 1950's. Drs. Wilfrid and Evan Shute, who were both brothers and cardiologists, gave patients somewhere between 1,600 to 2,000 International Units of vitamin E daily and it eliminated angina symptoms in hundreds and hundreds of documented cases." I fully expected him to ridicule the idea, and I was surprised and not a little gratified when he thoughtfully nodded his head. "OK," he said, and we gratefully moved on to another topic.

The seat of it and sense of strangling and anxiety with which is attended may make it not improperly be called Angina pectoris. Those who are afflicted with it, are seized, while they are walking, and more particularly when they walk soon after eating with a painful and most disagreeable sensation in the breast." So William Heberden, is some nice 18th century language, first described angina in 1768. Drawing the line Bandolier readers who ask about angina don't have problems diagnosing it, but they do ask about how best to treat it. Now there we have to draw the line. It simply is not possible to do that for a multitude of obvious reasons. What Bandolier TIBBS This refers to the Total Ischaemic Burden Bisoprolol Study [1], which was a multicentre trial comparing bisoprolol and nifedipine. It was randomised and double-blind (but perhaps not completely so). Patients were predominantly men with an average age of just under 60 years.

How is angina treated? Tests Now Performed in Many Medical Centers What are the symptoms of a heart attack? How is a heart attack treated? Is there any way to reduce the chance of a heart attack? What is a heart attack? Heart attacks result from blood vessel disease in the heart. Coronary heart disease (CHD), sometimes referred to as coronary artery disease (CAD), are more general names for heart attack (and angina). A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself (the myocardium) is severely reduced or stopped. This occurs when one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle) is blocked by an obstruction, often plaque due to atherosclerosis. A heart attack also can be caused by a blood clot lodged in a coronary artery. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coro- nary occlusion. If the blood supply is cut off drastically or for a long time, muscle cells suffer irreversible injury and die. Disability or death can result, depending on how much heart muscle is damaged.

General Illness Information Common Name: Coronary Artery Disease Medical Term: Ischemic Heart Disease Description: Coronary artery disease is a condition in which fatty deposits (atheroma) accumulate in the cells lining the wall of the coronary arteries. These fatty deposits build up gradually and irregularly in the large branches of the two main coronary arteries which encircle the heart and are the main source of its blood supply. This process is called atherosclerosis which leads to narrowing or hardening of the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries ).This results in ischemia ( inability to provide adequate oxygen) to heart muscle and this can cause damage to the heart muscle . Complete occlusion of the blood vessel leads to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). In the United States , cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both sexes, and coronary artery disease is the commonest cause of cardiovascular disease.
