Describe stable angina due to ischemia?
Stable angina occurs during exertion, can be quickly relieved by resting or taking nitroglycerine, and lasts from 3 to 20 minutes.
Which drugs are administered for allopathic treatment of angina due to ischemia?
Nitroglycerin is the classic treatment for angina.
What is the prevalence of angina pectoris due to ischemia in the United States?
The prevalence of angina pectoris is nearly seven million Americans according to The American Heart Association.
What is the medical term for pertaining to death of tissue?
angina pectoris meanind a syndrome characterized by paroxysmal, constricting pain below the sternum, most easily precipitated byexertion or excitement and caused by ischemia of the heart muscle, usually due to a coronary arterydisease, as arteriosclerosis
Compare myocardial infarction and angina pectoris?
Angina is chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood, thus a lack of oxygen supply and waste removal) of the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Myocardial Infarction is cellular death of the heart muscle due to lack of oxygen, often caused by blockage of arteries. Essentially angina proceeds a myocardial infarction, both are caused by low/no oxygen reaching some part of the heart
Who is more likely to have angina pectoris due to ischemia?
People with angina are at risk of having a heart attack.
Is transmural ischemia due to acute myocardial infarction?
Myocardial ischemia is owing to poor blood supply and infarction is due to no blood supply. The severity of both differs and ischemia can progress to infarction.
Is intestinal ischemia inheritable?
Intestinal ischemia is indirectly due to heredity. The condition is caused by the narrowing or blocking of an artery, and one of the reasons this may happen is due to cholesterol buildup. Since high cholesterol is at least partly due to heredity, intestinal ischemia can be thought of as inheritable.
What is the word for the condition of episodes of severe chest pain due to inadequate blood flow to the myocardium is known as?
Angina pectoris, but everyone just calls it angina
Deficient blood supply to the myocardium is?
Deficient blood supply to the myocardium is: ischemia Ischemia is the medical terms for deficient blood supply to the myocardium. The suffix -emia denotes a blood condition; ischem/o means to hold back. With occlusion from atherosclerosis, the blood flow is restricted, resulting in deficient blood supply.
What is inferoapical ischemia?
Inferoapical ischemia is lack of blood flow below the apex.
What things are associated with ischemia?
In medicine, ischemia (from Greek ισχαιμία, ischaimía; isch- root denoting a restriction or thinning or to make or grow thin/lean, haema blood) is a restriction in blood supply, generally due to factors in the blood vessels, with resultant damage or dysfunction of tissue. It may also be spelled ischaemia or ischæmia. It also means local anemia in a given part of a body sometimes resulting from congestion (such as vasoconstriction, thrombosis or embolism). Ischemic means having or showing symptoms of ischemia, while nonischemic means "not related to or showing signs of ischemia". Ischemia can also be described as an inadequate flow of blood to a part of the body, caused by constriction or blockage of the blood vessels supplying it. Ischemia of heart muscle produces angina pectoris. Ischemic can be part of the brain supplied by particular vessel.
