Angina pectoris refers to chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, often due to coronary artery disease. This condition occurs when the heart’s demand for oxygen exceeds the supply, typically during physical exertion or emotional stress. Angina is a warning sign of potential heart attacks and is characterized by symptoms such as chest pressure, squeezing, or pain that may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw. Management of angina includes lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery. Prompt medical attention and treatment are crucial to prevent the progression of a heart attack and to manage symptoms effectively.
