exertion and rest
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.
Stable angina occurs during exertion, can be quickly relieved by resting or taking nitroglycerine, and lasts from 3 to 20 minutes.
People with angina are at risk of having a heart attack.
Angina -- or chest pain -- occurs because the heart is not receiving enough oxygen. The pain is usually in the chest and may also be felt in the shoulder, arm, or jaw. Not all chest pain is angina and it may be difficult to determine the cause of chest pain.
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.
Rate-pressure product is a good estimate of myocardial oxygen demand. RPP = Heart Rate X Systolic Blood Pressure. When using the RPP with patients with Coronary Artery Disease and with angina symptoms, it can indicate the oxygen demand at which Angina initially occurs (angina threshold).
Angina pectoris (also known as angina). This occurs when bloodflow is restricted due to the narrowing of the main arteries of the heart. Important Note: If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, call for ambulance immediately. Hope this helped:-)
is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood for a short period of time
Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood. It is typically caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries due to a build-up of plaque, reducing blood flow to the heart. Angina can be triggered by physical exertion, stress, or other factors that increase the heart's demand for oxygen.
Symptoms for angina other than chest pain include a sense of weight or pressure on the chest (often described as squeezing or fullness), shortness of breath, nausea, pain in the arms, neck, shoulders, back, or jaw (if it accompanies chest pain), fatigue, sweating, and dizziness. Unstable angina (angina that occurs for the first time, at unpredictable times, while at rest, is more severe than normal, or does not respond to angina medicine) is a medical emergency and might signal a heart attack - get to the emergency room immediately!
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort caused by coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle does not get as much blood as it needs. This usually happens because one or more arteries in the heart become narrowed or blocked, also known as ischemia.
