What else can I help you with?
How do you describe symptomatic ischemia?
Symptomatic ischemia is characterized by chest pain called angina pectoris.
Chest pain resulting from ischemia of the myocardium?
angina pectoris
Who is more likely to have angina pectoris due to ischemia?
People with angina are at risk of having a heart attack.
Patient experiences severe ischemia what can happen to heart?
Ischemia is a medical term meaning insufficient oxygen ... usually caused by insufficient blood flow. If the ischemia is occurring in the heart it will probably cause some type of cardiac problem: anything from mild cardiac failure (not pumping all the blood that the body demands) to pain (angina) to death of some or all of the cardiac muscle (a heart attack).
What is the suffocating chest pain associated with coronary artery disease called?
It is called "angina" or more specifically "angina pectoris" (Latin a strangling of the chest). It is caused by the lack of oxygen to the heart muscles, the blood flow in the cardiac arteries being blocked, typically by atherosclerosis.
How does herbal therapy treat angina associated with ischemia?
Western herbal medicine recommends hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata or C. oxyacantha ) to help prevent long-term angina, since this herb strengthens heart muscles' ability to contract.
How do you describe symptomatic ischemia?
Symptomatic ischemia is characterized by chest pain called angina pectoris.
Which drugs are administered for allopathic treatment of angina due to ischemia?
Nitroglycerin is the classic treatment for angina.
The pain of angina pectoris is produced primarily by?
Myocardial ischemia.
Chest pain resulting from ischemia of the myocardium?
angina pectoris
What surgeries treat angina associated with ischemia?
Surgical procedures include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
How does homeopathy treat angina associated with ischemia?
Cactus grandiflorus is a homeopathic remedy made from night-blooming cactus and used for pain relief during an attack.
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.
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.
What is the purpose of enhanced external counterpulsation?
to restore blood flow to the heart and to relieve chest pain (angina) and ischemia
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.
How has new research effected outcomes for ischemia?
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.
