| | 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 chest pain is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed cardiac medications. | | | 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). |

| | The symptoms of angina include mild or severe pain, pressure, or discomfort in the chest, the pain is generally described as a feeling of a squeezing, strangling, heaviness, or suffocation sensation in the chest(8, 9). | | | Angina Pectoris is recurring acute chest pain or discomfort resulting from decreased blood supply to the heart muscle(myocardial ischemia). | | | Coronary microvascular spasm and resultant myocardial ischemia may be the cause of chest pain in a subgroup of patients with microvascular angina(12). |

| | Heart Info - Angina Pectoris |
| | Angina pectoris is a term that describes chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia - a condition in which the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle is insufficient. | | | Diagnosis of angina is based upon the classic history of chest pain on exertion and by means of tests, demonstrating the presence of coronary artery disease. | | | Typically, angina is described as a "pressure" or "squeezing" pain that starts in the center of the chest and may spread to the shoulders or arms (most often on the left side, although either or both sides may be involved), the neck, jaw or back. |

| | Angina Pectoris |
| | How-ever, not all patients with angina pectoris require surgical therapy, and thus not all are in need of arterio-graphy. | | | The diagnosis of angina pectoris is established by obtaining a reliable description of the chest discomfort and its relationship to activity. | | | Once the history has indicated that chest pain is most likely angina, it has to be decided which of the several clinical syndromes of angina the patient manifests. |

| | Angina Pectoris |
| | Angina pectoris is a condition in which the heart muscle does not receive enough blood (nutrients and oxygen) resulting in chest pain. | | | Angina occurs when the blood flow to the heart is enough for normal needs but not enough for increased needs such as occurs in physical exercise, strong emotions or extreme temperatures. | | | A clear indication for angiography is a patient with unacceptable incapacitating angina who is on maximal medical therapy or in young and vigorous patients who have a great deal of cardiac muscle at ischemic risk. |

| | Angina Pectoris |
| | Angina results when blood flow to the heart muscle is inadequate (causing a condition known as ischemia) due to a number of conditions. | | | Angina is defined as pain or pressure in the chest, beneath the breastbone, that occurs when the heart is not getting enough oxygen. | | | Angina is the "warning" that a person is at risk for a heart attack. |

| | Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain) AHealthyMe.com |
| | Angina is temporary pain or discomfort in the chest that occurs when not enough oxygen-carrying blood reaches your heart. | | | Although angina can cause chest pain and discomfort, heart attack pain is also generally more severe. | | | (The term "angina" means "pain," while "pectoris" refers to the chest.) Sometimes angina feels like heartburn, the similar sensations you may get after eating a heavy meal. |

| | Angina, or angina pectoris, is chest pain due either to reduced blood flow to the heart or to certain other abnormalities of heart function. | | | While these patients did not have angina in the classic sense, their chest pain was thought to result from anxiety, which may reduce blood flow to the heart, and their ECGs resembled those of classic angina patients. | | | Kudzu is used in modern Chinese medicine as a treatment for angina. |

| | Sigmund Silber, MD - Angina pectoris |
| | Angina pectoris is termed "unstable" when formerly stable Angina pectoris is experienced more often and/or more intensely without external causes (a change in blood pressure adjustment, omission of medication, increased psychosocial pressure). | | | 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. | | | Typical for Angina pectoris is fast (within minutes) response to sublingually applied nitroglycerin or isosorbide dinitrate. |

| | The recognition of the likely importance of the coronary microvascular resistance vessels in the pathogenesis of angina pectoris resulted from studies of patients with angina-like chest pain and angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries. | | | Among other treatments to control chest pain that appear to be effective in some cases, imipramine, a tricyclic anti-depressant used for management of chronic pain disorders, has been shown to significantly reduce the number of chest pain episodes in patients with angina and normal coronary arteries. | | | The coronary etiology of the chest pain is supported by the frequent but not universal evidence of ischemia in these patients during exercise testing; many were found to have abnormal vasodilator reserve. |
