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 the adequate amount of blood it needs 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 pain radiating in the arms, shoulders, jaw, neck, and/or back chest pain usually begins with physical exertion, although, other triggers include emotional stress, extreme cold and heat, heavy meals, excessive alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking chest pain associated with angina is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed cardiac medication Angina Vs.

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?

4. Natural Angina Pectoris Cure A discussion on the use of zinc for treatment of this disorder. http://www.coldcure.com/html/angina.html

NATURAL ANGINA PECTORIS CURE According to Halcomb, complete control of angina pectoris with as little as 60-mg zinc tablets 3 times a day occurs in one-half of patients in clinical practice allowing either termination or substantial reduction in nitroglycerin intake. More patients may respond to higher oral dosages, as long as zinc serum concentrations remain in the high part of the normal zinc serum range (about 140 micrograms zinc per deciliter). Halcomb's findings are in agreement with long-term zinc, lead, and cadmium environmental pollution studies reported in Poland involving thousands of people with angina and ischemia of effort. Workers in zinc smelters had about 40% of the incidence of angina pectoris and ischemia of effort compared with controls (P > 0.01). Workers in lead smelters were not affected compared with controls. Workers in cadmium smelters had more than double the risk of controls. Administration of zinc beneficially depletes excess stores of iron and cadmium in people resulting in the reduced incident of angina pectoris and ischemia. Zinc is well known to compete with iron for gut absorption sites and blood transport proteins. Zinc also prevents arterial scarring from viral infections of the arteries. Cadmium is directly below zinc on the periodic table of elements. It has great chemical similarity to zinc albeit extremely toxic and carcinogenic where it has replaced zinc in biological systems. Zinc ion is also strongly anti inflammatory. Halcomb WW. Mesa, Arizona. Personal communication, 1992.

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).

Coronary Artery Disease Topics [General] Prevention Of Coronary Artery Disease Angina Pectoris Myocardial Infarction Angina Pectoris A clinical syndrome due to myocardial ischemia characterized by precordial discomfort or pressure, typically precipitated by exertion and relieved by rest or sublingual nitroglycerin. Etiology The cause is usually critical coronary artery obstruction due to atherosclerosis. Spasm (idiopathic or due to cocaine) or, rarely, a coronary embolism may be causative (see Myocardial Infarction, below). Disease other than atherosclerosis (eg, calcific aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) can cause angina directly (by increasing cardiac work) or in combination with CAD. Pathology and Pathogenesis Usually, patients with long-standing angina are found at autopsy to have extensive coronary atherosclerosis and patchy myocardial fibrosis. There may be gross or microscopic evidence of old MI. Angina pectoris occurs when cardiac work and myocardial O demand exceed the ability of the coronary arteries to supply oxygenated blood. Heart rate, systolic tension or arterial pressure, and contractility are the major determinants of myocardial O

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.
