A Angina Print Save or Share Angina Medications Definition of Angina: Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia. It occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) doesn't get as much blood (hence as much oxygen) as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart's arteries (blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle) is narrowed or blocked. Insufficient blood supply is called ischemia. Typical angina is uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest. The discomfort also may be felt in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back or arm. Many types of chest discomfort aren't related to angina. Acid reflux (heartburn) and lung infection or inflammation are examples.

Raadpleeg bij gezondheidsklachten een arts Angina pectoris ICD-10 I ICD-9 Portaal Geneeskunde Angina pectoris is een drukkend, respectievelijk zwaar gevoel en/of pijn midden op de borst (angineuze pijn) dat ontstaat als de hartspier niet voldoende bloed toegevoerd krijgt om het hart zijn werk te laten doen. Meestal wordt dit veroorzaakt door vernauwing van de kransslagaders , vaak in combinatie met lichamelijke inspanning of emotie waardoor het hart krachtiger gaat kloppen en dus meer zuurstof nodig heeft. Bij afnemende zuurstofbehoefte van het hart verdwijnt de angina pectoris dan weer. De pijn die ontstaat door een plotseling optredende verstopping van een kransslagader door een bloedstolsel ( trombus of embolie ) is in aard gelijk aan die van angina pectoris, maar meestal heviger en houdt langer aan. Bij volledige afsluiting van een vat treedt een hartinfarct ('hartaanval') op. Angina pectoris kan worden bestreden door de bloedvaten medicamenteus te verwijden (na toedienen van nitroglycerine verdwijnt de typische angina pectorispijn) of door de inspanning terug te brengen.

It usually occurs when you are under emotional or physical stress (such as exercise). The heart doesn't get enough oxygen from the coronary arteries, and you feel a squeezing chest pain or pressure across your chest, which usually goes away after you stop the activity. The most common cause of angina is atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Stable angina usually occurs when you exercise and is fairly predictable. It is relieved with rest or nitroglycerin. Unstable angina, on the other hand, can occur when you are resting, or at unpredictable times. It can lead to a heart attack, so if you experience unstable angina you should immediately call 911.

Angina is a type of chest discomfort caused by poor blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium). See also: Unstable angina Causes Your heart muscle is working all the time, so it needs a continuous supply of oxygen. This oxygen is provided by the coronary arteries, which carry blood. When the heart muscle has to work harder, it needs more oxygen. Symptoms of angina occur when the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked by hardening of the arteries ( atherosclerosis ), or by a blood clot. The most common cause of angina is coronary heart disease (CHD). Angina pectoris is the medical term for this type of chest pain. Stable angina is predictable chest pain. Although less serious than unstable angina, it can be very painful or uncomfortable. The risk factors for coronary heart disease include: Diabetes Family history of coronary heart disease before age 50 High blood pressure High LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol Male gender Not getting enough exercise Obesity Smoking Anything that requires the heart muscle to need more oxygen can cause an angina attack, including:

Enhanced features are available for content published after 2000.

The document is also available on the ACC Web site ( http://www.acc.org ) and the AHA Web site ( http://www.americanheart.org The recommendations are divided into four sections that cover diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment and follow-up. Each recommendation is assigned a rank for the weight of the evidence. The highest rank is A, which signifies that the data were derived from multiple randomized clinical trials of a large number of patients. An intermediate rank of B denotes data derived from a limited number of randomized trials of a small number of patients or from careful analyses of nonrandomized studies or observational registries. The lowest rank of evidence, C, was assigned when expert consensus was the primary basis for the recommendation. As is customary with ACC/AHA recommendations, classifications of I, II and III were used to categorize the recommendations according to the weight of the evidence. The three classifications are defined as follows:
