What is Angina Pectoris?

Angina pectoris is a medical condition that causes chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart, caused by narrowed blood vessels often resulting from the buildup of cholesterol plaques. This condition is commonly seen in individuals with high-cholesterol diets or those genetically predisposed to elevated cholesterol, which impairs blood flow to the heart.

Causes of Angina

Causes of angina include:

  • High-fat diet
  • Genetic predisposition

Modifiable risk factors that can contribute to angina include:

  • Obesity
  • Stress
  • Smoking
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Stenotic aortic valve

Other causes of angina include:

  • Heart failure
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Anemia

Signs and Symptoms of Angina

Angina is characterized by chest pain that may radiate to the back, arm, or jaw. The pain is often described as a pressing or squeezing sensation in the chest. It is typically triggered by physical exertion and is relieved by rest or prescribed medications.

Diagnosing cause of Angina

Diagnosing the cause of angina primarily relies on a physical examination and the patient’s symptoms. In some cases, the doctor may recommend additional tests such as an ECG (electrocardiogram) or exercise ECG to assess heart function during physical activity. Lab tests may also be used to support the diagnosis.

If needed, the doctor may further request an echocardiogram (echo) for a more detailed evaluation of heart health.

Angina Treatment

Angina treatment is divided into two main categories:

  1. Medical Treatment: This includes the use of vasodilators, blood thinners, and cardiac support medications. It also involves treating underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and using antihyperlipidemic drugs to manage cholesterol levels.
  2. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): This procedure involves stent insertion to open narrowed blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart.

By improving the blood flow to the heart, these treatments help reduce symptoms of chest pain and ensure the heart receives sufficient oxygen and nutrients.

When should I see a specialist for Angina?

If you experience any chest pain, it’s important to consult a cardiologist. They can provide the proper diagnosis and treatment to manage your condition effectively.
