Term for choking pain (Latin, throat pain or choking). When coupled with the word 'pectoris' (Latin, of the chest), angina refers to a painful, constricting sensation in the chest. Angina is caused by coronary artery disease, which reduces the supply of blood to the heart muscle.

there are many kinds of angina, the most common being an inflammatory disease of the throat, accompanied by spasms, choking, and difficulty breathing.

The Condition"...Signs that a person is having a heart attack and should get emergency attention include: pain lasting more than 30 minutes, sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, severe anxiety, and fatigue..."

Characteristic pain (in the thorax, arm, jaw, or back) which occurs during exertion in patients with certain kinds of heart disease. Anginal pain is usually prompted by stress (either physical or emotional) and relieved by rest, or specific medications which improve the delivery of blood to the heart.

Angina Pectoris ("Angina") is a recurring pain or discomfort in the chest that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone, but sometimes in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Angina is usually precipitated by exertion. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medicine. It is a common symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when vessels that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis.

Commonly called chest pain, heart pain or angina pectoris. Usually, it is felt as a discomfort or pressure in the chest, arms, jaw or back (between the shoulder blades). Some people experience shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness or stomach discomfort (indigestion or "heartburn"). Angina is a result of an inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle due to blockages in the coronary arteries (and/or bypass grafts).

chest pain caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle tissue.

From the Latin angina, a choking pain, and pectoris meaning chest. This is the excruciating chest pain felt when the heart is being starved of oxygen. It normally happens with exercise. If the pain is present at rest the patient is at a very high risk of having a heart attack.

Angina is an old term previously used to describe a sore throat. However, it is more currently used to describe a severe, constricting pain often occurring in the chest.

a condition marked by chest pains or pressure due to decreased blood supply to the heart Angina is often a symptom of advanced atherosclerosis.

Chest pain caused by poor blood supply to the muscles of the heart due to narrowed or clogged coronary arteries.

A medical term for chest pain that occurs because there is not enough oxygen in the heart.

pectoris Pain in the heart from insufficient oxygen (blood flow) to the heart muscle. The most common cause of angina is arteriosclerosis. Coronary spasm is another cause. A variant angina that is caused by coronary spasm is known as Prinzmetal’s angina. This is a less common type of angina that occurs at rest, without emotional or physical stress, and often at night.

All organs including the heart, need blood and oxygen to supply energy to them. The coronary arteries provide blood and oxygen to the heart. Over the years, a plaque forms in the artery walls, narrowing the artery. During rest the artery may be able to deliver enough blood to the heart. However, during exercise emotional stress, cold weather, or after meals the narrowed arteries cannot deliver enough blood to the heart. Pain occurs called angina. The symptoms of angina are pressure, tightness, or pain in your chest, arm, back, neck, or jaw; heartburn; nausea; vomiting; profuse sweating; or shortness of breath. Angina pectoris can be diagnosed and treated with various medications and procedures.

the pain experienced under the breastbone or in other areas of the upper body when the heart is deprived of oxygen.
