Yes it is a heart disease.
Angina.
Angina
heart attack or 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.
Angina pectoris, but everyone just calls it angina
medical terms. angina has to do with chest/heart, cataract has to do with the eye.
Angina is a kind of heart disease. There are no square feet associated with it.
Yes, angina can lead to a heart attack. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease, indicating that the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen due to reduced blood flow. If the underlying condition worsens, it can result in a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack. Therefore, it's essential for individuals experiencing angina to seek medical evaluation and management.
Angina is typically caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, often due to coronary artery disease. While anemia can lead to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues, including the heart, it is not a direct cause of angina. However, severe anemia may exacerbate existing heart conditions or contribute to angina symptoms in susceptible individuals. Therefore, while anemia can influence heart health, it is not a primary cause of angina.
Atrioventricular (AV) heart block itself does not directly cause angina, but it can lead to a decrease in heart rate and cardiac output, potentially resulting in insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle. This reduced blood flow can provoke angina symptoms, especially in individuals with pre-existing coronary artery disease. Therefore, while AV block is not a direct cause of angina, it can contribute to conditions that may lead to angina.
Fred had a minor episode of angina, but called 911 thinking he was dying of a heart attack.
