Study Notes
Angina Causes and Mechanisms
- The main cause of angina is the obstruction of coronary arteries, leading to insufficient blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
- The main mechanism of coronary artery obstruction is the buildup of plaque, which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow.
Angina Symptoms and Characteristics
- The most common symptom of angina is chest pain or pressure, often described as a squeezing or crushing sensation.
- The term "angina" translates to "strangling" or "choking" in Latin, which reflects the sensation of chest pain or pressure.
- The severity of angina is directly related to the degree of oxygen deprivation in the heart muscle.
Angina Definition
- Angina is a term used to describe chest pain or pressure caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle.
- The literal translation of the term "angina" is "strangling" or "choking".
