Study Notes
Types of Angina
- Stable exertional angina: occurs predictably at a certain level of activity
- Unstable angina: occurs at rest or with minimal exertion, lasts more than 10 min, is severe and new of onset, or occurs with a crescendo pattern
Prinzmetal's Variant Angina
- Focal spasm of an epicardial coronary artery leading to severe myocardial ischemia
- Occurs at rest, associated with transient ST-segment elevation
Risk Factors for Angina
- Diabetes mellitus
- Tobacco smoking
- Hypertension
- Hyperlipidemia
- Obesity
- Family history of premature coronary artery disease
- Age above 45 in men and above 55 in women
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea
- Chronic kidney disease
Presentation of Angina
- Typical location of pain is retrosternal
- Pain cannot be localized with one finger
- Described as heaviness, pressure, squeezing, or choking
- Lasts typically more than 10 minutes
