This substitution changes the conformation of hemoglobin resulting in a “sickled” product. This sickled product is “stickier” than the normal red blood cell creating the diseased state. Currently, treatment options are mostly limited to improving

Stable Angina Among Women and MEN Angina pectoris is a health care problem that is commonly misdiagnosed among women.
