ANGINA

What is Angina?
Angina (angina pectoris) is a type of temporary chest pain, pressure or discomfort that occurs when the heart is not getting enough oxygen. The most common underlying cause of angina is coronary artery disease, which occurs when the coronary arteries that supply the heart with oxygen–rich blood become blocked with plaque deposits. Most angina episodes are the result of partial blockage of coronary arteries resulting from plaque build-up.

Treatment of Angina
As in other heart diseases, the first step in treating angina is making lifestyle changes. These include smoking cessation, weight loss, regular exercise, sleeping with the back raised a minimum of 6 inches to reduce pressure and stress on the heart, eating a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat, and moderating ones alcohol consumption. Then, if there are no contraindications, daily aspirin therapy and nitroglycerin that is dissolved under the tongue. If sufferers require maintenance therapy to prevent angina attacks, then beta blockers are the preferred therapy due to their documented efficacy in post heart attack patients.
