angina pectoris
Angina pectoris, commonly referred to as just "angina", is chest pain caused by ischemia, or shortage of oxygenated blood supply, to the heart muscle. Unlike a heart attack, angina does not result in permanent damage to the heart muscle.
The prevalence of angina pectoris is nearly seven million Americans according to The American Heart Association.
Abana, a mixture of herbs and minerals used in Ayurvedic medicine, may reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
Stable angina occurs during exertion, can be quickly relieved by resting or taking nitroglycerine, and lasts from 3 to 20 minutes.

Prolomet tablets are used as a beta-blocker. Prolomet contains Metoprolol which is administered for the treatment of hypertension and angina. It can also be taken as a preventative drug for heart conditions.
New diagnostic techniques enable doctors to identify ischemia earlier. New technologies and surgical procedures can prevent angina from leading to a heart attack or TIA from resulting in a stroke.
Unstable angina, which increases the risk of a heart attack, occurs more frequently, lasts longer, is more severe, and may cause discomfort during rest or light exertion.
Surgical procedures include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
