	Angina Pectoris
		Angina Pectoris is a term for chest pain caused by an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
		Angina may be more difficult to identify in some elderly patients when they have symptoms such as abdominal pain after eating (due to increased blood demand for digestion) or have back or shoulder pain (which may be thought to be due to arthritis).
		Stable angina is characterized by predictable patterns of symptoms and periods of discomfort that occur during exercise or periods of stress.

	Cardiovascular Diseases - Angina Pectoris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Angina pectoris occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) does not receive an adequate amount of blood needed for a given level of work (insufficient blood supply is called ischemia).
		An episode of angina does not indicate that a heart attack is occurring, or that a heart attack is about to occur.
		Angina does indicate, however, that coronary heart disease is present and that some part of the heart is not receiving an adequate blood supply.

	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.
		Angina is most often a sign that you have heart disease, specifically a blockage of one or more of the main blood vessels supplying the heart muscle.
		An angina attack occurs when the blocked vessel prevents adequate blood flow, or when there is spasm of the vessel leading to decreased blood flow to the heart muscle.

	angina
		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 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).
		Angina pectoris is thought to be a precursor to approximately 40 percent of acute coronary events (1).

		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.
		Angina pectoris is a common manifestation 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 is a condition in which the heart muscle does not receive enough blood (nutrients and oxygen) resulting in chest pain.
		Variant angina also called Prinzmetal's angina differs from typical chronic stable angina pectoris in that it occurs almost exclusively when a person is at rest and does not follow a period of physical exertion or emotional stress.
		Unstable angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome with symptoms between stable angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction and perhaps sudden death.

	Angina Pectoris
		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.
		Unstable angina pectoris is probably not a single entity, but a combination of syndromes which have been referred to by various names, such as preinfarction angina, impending myocardial infarction, progressive or crescendo angina, coronary insufficiency, new onset angina, etc.
		The diagnosis of angina pectoris is established by obtaining a reliable description of the chest discomfort and its relationship to activity.

		Because the diagnosis of angina is usually primarily based on the patient's history, exercise testing in a patient with typical symptoms is generally used to determine functional and ECG response to graded stress (for exercise stress testing using radionuclide imaging, see Ch.
		Angina may be confused with dyspnea, partly because of the sharp and reversible rise in LV filling pressure that often accompanies the ischemic attack.

	Angina Pectoris
		Angina pectoris is a symptom relating to heart muscle discomfort because of severe reduction of blood supply to that heart muscle.
		The symptom of angina pectoris is always serious and means the blood supply to a portion of the heart muscle is compromised.
		If you have had a diagnosis of angina pectoris made and your angina has changed in that it requires less of an activity to produce it then again one should inform your physician or cardiologist of it's change in nature.

	Sigmund Silber, MD - Angina pectoris
		The term "Angina pectoris" does not include every "feeling of tightness in the chest," but automatically steers suspicion toward a diagnosis of coronary heart disease when the possibility of stenosis of the aortic valve is out of question.
		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.
		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).

	Angina Pectoris
		Angina occurs when some part of the heart requires more oxygen than it can get from the blood reaching it through the coronary arteries.
		If you still get angina attacks despite drug treatment and if there is angiographic evidence of advanced narrowing of coronary arteries, coronary angioplasty (dilating the narrowing in the coronary artery with a balloon) or coronary artery bypass surgery may be performed to restore a good blood flow to the heart muscle.
		If your angina attacks become more severe, more frequent or more prolonged or occurring at rest with decreasing response to GTN tablets then you have what is called "unstable angina".

		Episodes of angina are usually brought on by activities or conditions that cause your heart to beat faster and work harder, such as physical exertion, mental or emotional stress, smoking, large meals or extreme temperatures.
		Angina is only a temporary reduction of the flow of the blood to the heart; a heart attack is a sudden, permanent stopping of the flow of blood to the heart.
		Angina is a symptom of heart disease, so the risk factors of angina are the same as the risk factors of heart disease.

	Angina Pectoris
		Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia. ; It occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) doesn't get as much blood (hence as much oxygen) as it needs.
		Angina also can occur in people with valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (this is an enlarged heart due to disease) or uncontrolled high blood pressure. These cases are rare, though.
		Typical angina is uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest. The discomfort also may be felt in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back or arm. Many types of chest discomfort aren't related to angina. Acid reflux (heartburn) and lung infection or inflammation are examples.
