Despite development of various diagnostic approaches, the evaluation of patients with chest pain suggestive of unstable angina or myocardial infarction remains a common, costly problem, with approximately 5 million people undergoing evaluation in emergency departments annually at an estimated cost of over $6 billion. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association established a committee to develop guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of unstable angina. Under a contract with the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research to assist the committee to evaluate the current ability to predict risk for patients with unstable angina, we performed three systematic reviews. The first review concerned the value of the electrocardiogram, physical examination, and clinical history in predicting outcome for patients with unstable angina. The second review examined the ability of troponin to predict outcome in patients with proven or suspected unstable angina. The third review examined the efficacy of chest pain units and emergency department protocols in patients who have suspected unstable angina or myocardial infarction.

Angina Pectoris Objectives Define angina. Learn the classification of angina. Learn the clinical signs and symptoms of angina. Understand the clinical work-up of angina, including appropriate history, physical examination, and laboratory and other testing. Learn appropriate indications for cardiac exercise testing and nuclear stress testing. Learn appropriate management of chronic stable angina and unstable angina, including the role of pharmacotherapy, PTCA, and CABG. Definitions Angina pectoris is a syndrome characterized by chest pain resulting from an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand, and is most commonly caused by the inability of atherosclerotic coronary arteries to perfuse the heart under conditions of increased myocardial oxygen consumption. It may also occur in patients with seemingly normal coronary arteries subjected to acute or chronic increase in myocardial work, such as aortic stenosis, hypertension, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Coronary artery spasm, superimposed upon normal or diseased arteries, can provoke pain in the absence of increased myocardial demands such as variant (Prinzmetal's) angina and some cases of stable or unstable angina. There is also a group of patients who have angina without demonstrable evidence of coronary artery disease. Classification of Angina Pectoris 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.

Fish Oils and Angina/Heart Attack Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and angina/heart attack It’s fish oil after a heart attack NEW YORK, NY. In a recent article in the New York Times , attention was drawn to the anomaly that in Europe fish oils are prescribed as part of the treatment protocol after an individual has had a heart attack, but this practice is much rarer in the U.S. The article quotes the chief of cardiology at an Italian hospital as stating that not only is this use of fish oil recommended in international guidelines, but it would be considered tantamount to malpractice to omit giving this “drug.” In fact, there is even available a prescription formulation of purified fish oil called Omacor, but it is not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. except for very high triglyceride levels and cannot be promoted except for this single indication. Related to this subject is a paper in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine which reported on a survey taken among family physicians in the State of Washington to determine the frequency with which they prescribed fish oil supplements for secondary prevention after a heart attack. While 57% were aware of fish oil’s effectiveness, only 17% actually prescribed it. Only 26.5% of family physicians were even aware of one of the most dramatic effects of fish oil, reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death. This study did not include cardiologists. Rosenthal, E.

Site Info Angina 1/2 Coronary Artery Disease Medical Treatment of Angina Heart Attack Some patients may have atypical (not typical) symptoms. For example, the pain may be confined to left shoulder, throat, jaw, or between 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 heartburn, mitral valve prolapse, a gall bladder attack, muscle sprain, etc. If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease and are having unusual symptoms suggestive of angina or a heart attack, make sure that you consult your doctor about your complaints.

Vasodilator Mechanism Classes: Click here to see list Click here for information on Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts, The Pharmacologic Treatment of Angina THIS PAGE: Causes of Angina Types of Angina Antianginal Drugs Causes of Angina Angina, which is sometimes called angina pectoris, is chest pain that is caused by inadequate coronary blood flow to the myocardium. When coronary blood flow cannot deliver sufficient oxygen to support cardiac oxidative metabolism (reduced oxygen supply/demand ratio ), the myocardium becomes hypoxic . This triggers pain receptors within the heart, which lead to the classical presentation of chest pain and the sensation of substernal heaviness or pressure. As described below and in the above figure, coronary blood flow can be decreased by 1) transient constriction of the coronary arteries (i.e., vasospasm), 2) chronic narrowing of a coronary artery (i.e., fixed stenosis) caused by atherosclerosis, or 3) the formation of a blood clot within the vessel lumen (i.e., coronary thrombosis). Angina can also be precipitated by increased oxygen consumption , especially if the coronary blood flow is already compromised. Increases in heart rate, contractility (

However, its effects on cardiovascular events and quality of life are uncertain. Angina, characterised by chest pain, is a manifestation of ischaemic heart disease. When the symptoms of angina are not adequately controlled by monotherapy with nitrates, beta blockers or calcium channel blockers, these drugs are used in combination, but may cause adverse effects. Trimetazidine is an anti-anginal drug that controls the symptoms of myocardial ischaemia by metabolic changes with the possibility of fewer withdrawals from treatment due to adverse events. There is scarce information about trimetazidine's effect on mortality, cardiovascular events or quality of life. Long term trials comparing trimetazidine against standard anti-anginal agents, using clinically important outcomes would be justifiable. The Cochrane Library (ISSN 1464-780X).

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. Angina is more common and more intense in men than in women. Doctors are uncertain whether this occurs because women tolerate pain better than men, or whether women unconsciously lower their physical activity to avoid attacks of angina. Angina attacks in men usually occur after the age of 30 and are nearly always caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). For women, angina tends to occur later in life.

Angina, or angina pectoris, is chest pain that follows a decrease in the blood supply to the heart, an increased demand for oxygen by the heart, or a combination of both. It is a classic symptom of coronary artery disease and sometimes predicts heart attacks. What are the symptoms of angina? The single most important symptom is chest pain brought on by physical activity or exercise. This usually feels like pressure, fullness, or a squeezing pain in the center of the chest, but can also resemble indigestion. Sometimes, the pain radiates to the neck, along the left shoulder or down the left arm into your jaw or back. Other symptoms may include difficulty breathing and nausea. There are three types of angina:

What comes next on the menu is something you didn't order … the worst case of heartburn and indigestion you've ever experienced. Or could it be something more serious? "Sometimes it's impossible to tell the difference between the symptoms of heartburn, angina and heart attack," cautioned Prediman K. (P.K.) Shah, M.D., director of the Division of Cardiology and the Atherosclerosis Research Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "There are some useful pointers that might help a person know whether they're having a heart attack or not, but when in doubt, check it out." Knowing if you have any risk factors that might predispose you to a heart attack is the first important factor to keep in mind, said Shah. "If you smoke, have diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, are overweight or have a strong family history of heart disease and have any symptom related to the chest or heart, you should be suspicious." Heart attack symptoms include the sudden onset of tightness, pressure, squeezing, burning, or discomfort in the chest, throat, neck or either arm. You should be especially suspicious if these symptoms are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sweating, shortness of breath or a fainting sensation, Shah warned. "That's when a bell should ring telling you that these symptoms may be indicating a heart attack."
