Angina

Stable Angina Among Women and MEN Angina pectoris is a health care problem that is commonly misdiagnosed among women. This paper will discuss the studies done in the article ‘Stable Angina Among Women and Men’ by Harry Hemingway. This study goes into detail on the difference in occurrence and diagnoses of angina pectoris between women and men. This paper will discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, the effects of angina pectoris on a person life, and how this article will change the way practice

Stable Angina What is stable angina? Stable angina is another term for chest pain that occurs with activity and improves with rest or a medication called nitroglycerine. This is an extremely common condition that typically affects older individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol. People with angina are at increased risk for cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. As opposed to stable angina, unstable angina is an emergency

The seat of it, and sense of strangling, and anxiety with which it is attended, may make it not improperly be called Angina pectoris” (1) Since the end of the eighteen

INTRODUCTION: The word angina is well derived from origin of Latin word “Angere” which means “to choke” and “pectus” means “chest” or it is also derived from origin of Greek word “Ankhone” which means a “strangling”. (Marc D Haber, Feb 18, 2015) Angina is mostly caused by myocardial ischemia. Coronary atherosclerosis mostly causes reduction in the oxygen delivery. During exercise or hard working heart need more oxygen rich blood. If coronary arteries are unable to supply oxygen rich blood to heart

whether chest pains were because of NSTEMI or unstable angina (NICE, 2014b). This led to diagnosis of unstable angina. His current treatment with regards to drug interactions is okay, except that enoxaparin has a clinically significant interaction with aspirin (2015, p. 1199). This can be discounted for due to his condition. Patient has a CVD (cardiovascular disease); can be exacerbated by having high cholesterol (could be the cause of his angina). Therefore, atorvastatin 80 mg was initiated for secondary

the left coronary artery is the reason why doctors usually refer to three main coronary arteries. Symptoms of Coronary Heart Disease      There are three main symptoms of coronary disease: heart attack, sudden death, and angina.      Heart attack occurs when a blood clot suddenly and completely blocks a diseased coronary artery, resulting in the death of the heart muscle cells supplied by that artery. Coronary and Coronary Thrombosis 2 are terms

with suspected stable angina Chest pain is a very common symptom, and around 20% to 40% of the general population will experience chest pain in their lives(149). In the UK, up to 2 % of visits to a general practitioner are due to new onset chest pain (150). Approximately 5% of visits to the emergency department are due to a complaint of chest pain, and up to 40% of emergency hospital admissions are the result of chest pain(149, 151). Approximately 52,000 new cases of angina per year are diagnosed

Intro - Nel (205 words) Ivabradine has captured the attention of scientists and has opened up new possibilities for the treatment of stable angina and chronic heart failure. Ivabradine is being developed as an anti-angina drug in patients with stable coronary artery disease and was found to reduce heart rate by selectively inhibiting the pacemaker (If) current in the sinoatrial node (Jedlickova et al., 2015). Recent studies have noted how the reduction of heart rate caused by ivabradine has broader
