What is angina pectoris?
Angina pectoris is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow resulting in a lack of
oxygen in the heart muscle.
What are the three types of angina?
There are three types: stable angina, unstable angina, and vasospastic angina
What makes stable angina different than unstable angina and vasospastic
angina?
Rest tends to relieve stable angina, but not the other two types
● Stable angina: Pain during exercise or stress. It is predictable, relieved by rest and/or
nitroglycerine
● Unstable angina: Pain during exercise or stress or at rest that doesn't go away.
(Previously stable and predictable symptoms of angina that are more frequent,
increasing, or present at rest)
● Prinzmetal variant angina (vasospastic): Coronary artery vasospasms causing
transient ST-segment elevations, not associated with clot
What percentage of the coronary artery is usually blocked to produce symptoms
of angina?
