What is Angina?


Angina occurs, in documented cases, when there is a significant amount of arterial narrowing and they cannot supply oxygenated blood to the different parts of the body. Arthrosclerosis, spasm in the coronary artery system and embolism of the coronary artery are all reasons of the narrowing of the coronary arteries. Angina if left untreated may lead to a condition called ‘coronary thrombosis’ which leads to a heart attack.


Too much of exertion and physical activities may lead to some sort of taxation on the heart. The heart muscles are forced to pump harder leading to many disorders. The increasing demands on the heart can be attributed to more than just exertion. There are some heavier terms which influence heart condition like—aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertension and aortic regurgitation. Any of these aforementioned conditions may lead to angina regardless of whether it is atherosclerosis or not. When oxygen gradually starts to decrease in the blood level, angina kicks in. The decreasing oxygen levels and arterial narrowing (In French le rétrécissement artériel)are the two main things which affect and cause angina.


People suffering from angina are usually able to gauge when an attack is about to happen by assessing their exertion and work load. Patients are advised that arterial 

Antioxidants (In French antioxydants) narrowing in atherosclerosis is not a permanent condition and can vary depending on a lot of factors like the condition of the coronary arteries (In French  artères coronaires), changes in the diet, medications etc. It is seen that patients get the flare ups more during daytime.


There are a lot of symptoms and signs which can aid in the early detection of angina. Angina can have extremes when it comes to the symptoms—from a mild and imperceptible Antioxydants(antioxidants) feeling in the chest to a severe choking or heaviness. The sensation is widely described, some say it is pain but most opine that it is discomfort. The location of the pain or discomfort is usually under the breast bone, in the armpits and the upper or lower abdomen. Angina has also known to cause discomfort in the teeth and the jaw bones, however, not above ear level or below waist level. The discomfort usually does not last long and is rare if treatment is going on.
