Let’s See more about the Angina

What is Angina?

Angina also known as angina pectoris, is a health issue that can cause chest pain or discomfort when your heart muscle doesn’t receive enough oxygen-rich blood. People often describe it as a sensation of tightness, pressure, or burning in the chest. It might also lead to discomfort in your arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, or back.

In simpler terms, angina usually happens because the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood. This occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrow or blocked due to a condition called coronary artery disease (CAD). It’s like when gunk builds up in the pipes of your heart. When these blockages slow down blood flow, your heart muscle doesn’t receive enough oxygen, especially when you’re active or stressed. This lack of oxygen is what causes the chest pain or discomfort that we associate with angina.

Types of Angina?

Angina can take different forms

 Here are the main types:

  1. Stable Angina: This is the most common type and usually occurs when your heart needs more oxygen than it’s getting, often during physical activity or stress.
  2. Unstable Angina: This is more serious and can happen unexpectedly, even at rest or with very little physical effort. It’s considered a medical emergency because it could mean a higher risk of a heart attack.
  3. Variant (Prinzmetal’s) Angina: This type is caused by spasms in the coronary arteries, which reduce blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
  4. Nocturnal Angina: This is chest discomfort that mainly occurs at night and can disrupt your sleep. It usually needs medical attention.

What Does Angina feel like?

Angina feels like an uncomfortable or painful sensation in your chest

People often describe it as

  1. Pressure or squeezing: It’s like someone pressing or squeezing your chest.
  2. Tightness: Imagine a tight band around your chest.
  3. Burning: Sometimes, it can give you a burning feeling.
  4. Heaviness: It might feel as if something heavy is sitting on your chest.

These feelings can vary in how strong they are and how long they last. Sometimes, angina discomfort can spread to other areas like your left arm, shoulders, neck, jaw, or back. The important thing to remember is that angina typically happens when your heart is working harder during physical activity or stress, and it needs more oxygen. Rest or medicine like nitro-glycerine can often make angina symptoms go away. If you or someone you know ever has chest pain or discomfort, especially if it’s severe or won’t go away, it’s crucial to get medical help right away .

How is Angina Diagnosed?

 Angina diagnosis involves a mix of your health story, physical check-ups, and various tests.            

  1. Discussing Your Health : Kartik Bhosale Cardiologist chat with you about your symptoms, like the kind of chest discomfort you feel, how often it happens, and how long it lasts.
  2. Hands-On Check-Up: They’ll give you a thorough physical exam, listening to your heart and lungs and checking your overall health.
  3. Heart Electricity Test (ECG or EKG): This painless test records your heart’s electrical activity. It can spot unusual heart rhythms or patterns that might suggest angina or other heart troubles.
  4. Blood Work: Blood tests can measure your cholesterol levels, check your blood sugar (for diabetes clues), and look for signals that could mean your heart muscle is damaged.
  5. Chest Snapshot: A chest X-ray can show pictures of your heart, lungs, and blood vessels.
  6. Heart Ultrasound (Echocardiogram): Using (ultrasound), this test creates images of your heart’s structure and function. It helps gauge how well your heart pumps blood and spot any structural issues.
  7. CT Heart Scan: A less invasive way to get detailed images of your coronary arteries. It uses X-rays and computers to spot blockages or narrowing.
  8. Heart MRI :This gives detailed images of your heart and its blood vessels, helping to see how blood flows and find any issues.
