AnginaThe Latin word angina refers to a painful constriction or tightness somewhere in the body, and may refer to:* Angina pectoris, chest pain due to ischemia of the heart muscle * Abdominal angina, postprandial abdominal pain that occurs in individuals with insufficient blood flow to meet visceral demands * Ludwig's angina, a serious, potentially life-threatening infection of the tissues of the floor of the mouth* Prinzmetal's angina, a syndrome typically consisting of cardiac chest pain at rest that occurs in cycles* Vincent's angina, trench mouth, infection of the gums leading to inflammation, bleeding, deep ulceration and necrotic gum tissue * Angina tonsillaris, an inflammation of the tonsils* "Angina" is also the name of a single by the Gothic metal band TristaniaOne common form of Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart isn't getting enough oxygen because of reduced blood flow to the heart. It is usually a symptom of coronary heart disease.Blood enters the heart through two blood vessels. These are known as the coronary arteries and they supply the heart muscle with the blood, oxygen and nutrients it needs to keep beating. Normally, the coronary arteries deliver enough blood so that the heart muscle gets the amount of oxygen it needs to work properly. However, in coronary heart disease these arteries become narrowed which reduces the amount of blood that can pass through them.This means that blood can't get to the heart muscle fast enough and the heart complains with pain. This pain is known as angina. It is more likely to occur during exertion when the heart muscle needs more blood and oxygen as it works harder.An episode of angina is not a heart attack. Angina is due to a temporary reduction in the flow of blood to part of the heart muscle and does not damage the heart itself. A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off and results in permanent damage to the heart muscle. However, angina does indicate an increased risk of a heart attack.Angina is common. It affects about 1 in 50 people and there are estimated to be 1.2 million people with angina in the UK. It is more common in men than women and the likelihood of it occurring increases with age.de:Anginapl:Angina ur:خانÙÙ‚Û it:Angina Angina Pectoris (From the Wikpedia article Angina.)
