What Is Angina?
angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle does not get enough blood.

Extractions: What Is ... Other Names Causes Who Is At Risk ... Links Angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when an area of your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Angina may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The pain also may occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It can feel like indigestion. Angina itself isn't a disease. Rather, it's a symptom of an underlying heart problem. Angina is usually a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when a fatty material called plaque (plak) builds up on the inner walls of the coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). Atherosclerosis Figure A shows a normal artery with normal blood flow. Figure B shows an artery containing plaque buildup. Plaque causes the coronary arteries to become narrow and stiff. The flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is reduced. This causes pain and can lead to a

Unfortunately for me and more unfortunately for Mr. Wilbon, instead of being in front of the camera, he was underneath one in a heart cath lab undergoing an angioplasty to open a blocked blood vessel to his heart. Heart disease remains the number one killer in the United States, and each case is a potential failure because risk management wasn't aggressive enough. There are five major risk factors for heart disease: smoking high blood pressure high cholesterol diabetes , and family history.

Extractions: 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. 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 attacks are caused when the heart needs more oxygen than the coronary blood vessels are able to supply. In most cases, the lack of blood supply to the heart muscle is due to a narrowing of the arteries of the heart caused by disease. Angina usually occurs during exertion, severe emotional stress, or after a heavy meal. During these periods, the heart muscle demands more blood oxygen than the narrowed coronary arteries can deliver. How serious is Angina?
Angina
angina Pectoris is recurring acute chest pain or discomfort resulting from decreased blood supply to the heart muscle(myocardial ischemia).

Extractions: What is angina pectoris? Angina Pectoris is recurring acute chest pain or discomfort resulting from decreased blood supply to the heart muscle(myocardial ischemia). Angina occurs when the hearts need for oxygen increases beyond the level of oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart (8). Angina is a common symptom for coronary heart disease (CHD)(9). 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). What risks are associated with angina pectoris? Angina indicates that CHD is present and that some part of the heart is not receiving an adequate blood supply. Episodes of angina seldom cause permanent damage to the heart muscle. Angina pectoris is a temporary part of the heart muscle not getting enough blood, whereas a heart attack occurs when some part of the heart is suddenly and permanently cut off from the blood supply which causes permanent damage to the heart muscle (8). Patients who have already suffered a coronary heart disease (CHD) event such as angina pectoris are at considerably increased risk of recurrent fatal or non-fatal events compared with healthy individuals of the same age(1). Angina pectoris is thought to be a precursor to approximately 40 percent of acute coronary events (1).

Extractions: 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. Unstable angina that occurs at rest is the most serious form. This type usually is caused by the formation of a blood clot at the site of a ruptured plaque in a coronary artery. If left untreated, it can result in

Do not drive yourself. Call 911 for emergency transport. Angina, or angina pectoris, is the medical term used to describe the temporary chest discomfort that occurs when the heart is not getting enough blood. The heart is a muscle (myocardium) and gets its blood supply from the coronary arteries. When physical exertion, strong emotions, extreme temperatures, or eating increase the demand on the heart, a person with angina feels temporary pain, pressure, fullness, or squeezing in the center of the chest or in the neck, shoulder, jaw, upper arm, or upper back. This is angina, especially if the discomfort is relieved by removing the stressor and/or taking sublingual (under the tongue) nitroglycerin.

Angina is most commonly felt after physical exertion. It is also triggered by stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking.

Extractions: Medical Services Health Information Appointments Education and Research ... About Angina treatment often involves using stents to widen blocked heart arteries. A study, the COURAGE trial, questions whether angioplasty and stents are necessary. A Mayo Clinic specialist discusses the findings. Gerald Gau, M.D. Your doctor says your chest pain (angina) is caused by blockages in your heart arteries and that you need to get those blockages taken care of. Now what? Angioplasty and stent placement is a common angina treatment strategy. Chronic stable angina is a form of chest pain that happens when your heart is working harder and needs more oxygen, such as during exercise. The pain goes away when you rest. Your narrowed arteries can be the cause of this form of angina. Many doctors consider angioplasty with stent placement to be a good angina treatment option for blocked arteries and chronic stable angina. That's because it's less invasive than open-heart surgery and has had good results. But a large medical study published in 2007 suggested angioplasty and stent placement might not be necessary to treat many cases of chronic stable angina. Here's what happened. From 1999 to 2004, 50 medical centers across the United States and Canada, including the Mayo Clinic, agreed to randomly divide 2,287 people with partially blocked coronary arteries and chronic stable angina into two groups. One group had angioplasty with a stent implanted, took medication and adopted healthy lifestyle changes. The other group of people in the study just took medication and made healthy lifestyle changes, but did not have angioplasty and stent placement.

Extractions: Heart Attack and Angina A Publication of the American Heart Association 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.
