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 include:
Modifiable risk factors that can contribute to angina include:
Other causes of angina include:
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 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 is divided into two main categories:
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.
