- Angina is a characteristic chest pain that occurs due to an imbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen demand of the myocardium.
- Stable Angina:
- Occurs due to reduction in coronary perfusion due to atherosclerosis.
- Characterized by a burning, heavy, or squeezing feeling in the chest.
- Heart becomes vulnerable to ischemia when there is increased demand.
- Triggers include:
- Physical activity
- Emotional excitement
- Unstable Angina:
- No clear predictability of occurrence.
- Cause is unknown, but may be related to thrombosis or inflammation.
- Variant (Prinzmetal) Angina:
- Not mentioned in detail.
