Angina pectoris

Stable Angina Among Women and MEN Angina pectoris is a health care problem that is commonly misdiagnosed among women. This paper will discuss the studies done in the article ‘Stable Angina Among Women and Men’ by Harry Hemingway. This study goes into detail on the difference in occurrence and diagnoses of angina pectoris between women and men. This paper will discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, the effects of angina pectoris on a person life, and how this article will change the way practice

Abstract: Angina pectoris and the coronary artery disease that can follow, can easily be mistaken as a less severe problem, but knowing the facts, can save your life. There are three different types of angina pectoris and can happen to both active and sedentary individuals . There are many symptoms, causes, ways to diagnosis and treat that doctors can utilize to prolong the life of patients. Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pains, and is associated with coronary heart disease. This

INTRODUCTION: The word angina is well derived from origin of Latin word “Angere” which means “to choke” and “pectus” means “chest” or it is also derived from origin of Greek word “Ankhone” which means a “strangling”. (Marc D Haber, Feb 18, 2015) Angina is mostly caused by myocardial ischemia. Coronary atherosclerosis mostly causes reduction in the oxygen delivery. During exercise or hard working heart need more oxygen rich blood. If coronary arteries are unable to supply oxygen rich blood to heart

The continuing dilemma of angina pectoris. Look beyond the obvious! “There is a disorder of the breast marked with strong and peculiar symptoms, considerable for the kind of danger belonging to it, and not extremely rare, which deserves to be mentioned more at length and of which I do not recollect any mention among medical authors. The seat of it, and sense of strangling, and anxiety with which it is attended, may make it not improperly be called Angina pectoris” (1) Since the end of the eighteen

the left coronary artery is the reason why doctors usually refer to three main coronary arteries. Symptoms of Coronary Heart Disease      There are three main symptoms of coronary disease: heart attack, sudden death, and angina.      Heart attack occurs when a blood clot suddenly and completely blocks a diseased coronary artery, resulting in the death of the heart muscle cells supplied by that artery. Coronary and Coronary Thrombosis 2 are terms

Name and explain the three different types of angina pectoris – Angina pectoris is a symptom of underlying heart condition. It is characterized with symptoms such as severe pressing chest pain or heaviness radiating to the neck, jaw back and arm. The primary cause of angina pectoris is the imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand and the oxygen supplied by the coronary artery. 1. Stable angina – this occurs when the heart has to work harder than it normally needs too. Example when excising,

Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome when the heart does not get enough oxygen from blood and can lead to ischemia.22 Angina is classified into three classes: stable, unstable, and printzmetal/variant.4,16,20 Stable angina is caused by narrowed arteries due to atherosclerosis. It is the most common form of angina. It occurs when there is exertion or effort. Episodes of pain tend to be alike and usually lasts a short time. It can be relieved by rest or anti-anginal drugs.4,16,20 Episodes of pain

Angina pectoris is a term used to describe the syndrome of chest pain resulting from myocardial ischemia (Griffin et al., 2008). Normal non-ischemic myocardial tissues differ from the cardiac tissue of an individual with myocardial ischemia because the normal tissue has adequate blood supply whereas the tissue in angina has inadequate blood supply from blocked coronary arteries. Unstable angina is diagnosed when ischemia is neither severe nor prolongs for more than 20 minutes and regularly occurs

causing the arteries to narrow (Taber’s pg 224). Therefore, angina pectoris can result with exertion. Also, coronary spasms can potentially be caused by plaque buildup and can occur in people who have high cholesterol such as Ms. T. Also, coronary spasms are known to cause angina pectoris in people (Taber’s pg 2171). Ms. T’s history of these conditions explains why she experiences episodes of angina. 4. The two predominant types of angina are
