WHAT IS ANGINA?
Angina is a disorder that signifies the underlying more severe heart problem named as Coronary Heart disease which is the blockage in the coronary arteries of the heart. It is a heart related disorder wherein there is acute and severe pain in the chest region and the patient experiences severe discomfort. The pain could travel to the neck, arms, jaw, or back of the shoulders. Angina occurs due to lack of blood supply and thereby oxygen to a muscle of your heart. As we know muscles require a strong and continuous flow of oxygen always and lack of oxygen produces discomfort.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ANGINA?
Angina is more of a symptom than a disease in itself. There are varied kinds of Angina conditions seen.
They are:
- Stable Angina: The most usual and commonly seen Angina. It is called Stable as after some episodes you can predict the pattern of occurrence of this Angina. It occurs due to the fact that the heart is under more stress and load than usual.
- Unstable Angina: It is named Unstable as unlike Stable angina it is more unpredictable. Its severity may increase or decrease unexplained. This type of Angina may occur even at rest and it not stress related. It required immediate attention and may lead to heart attack.
- Variant Angina: A rare kind of angina, Variant is usually seen when the patient is at rest or sleeping. It occurs due to a spasm in the coronary artery.
- Microvascular Angina: It occurs due to defect in the micro- tubules or the small tubules carrying blood. This is a very severe angina due to the site of action being very small. It might result in a severe heart attack.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF ANGINA?
Angina occurs due to Coronary artery defects or disease. There is blockage in the coronary artery disturbing the normal functioning of the heart and this lead to Angina. The causes are the same as the causes of Coronary heart disease.
Some generalized causes that are seen across many cases are:
- Cigarette Smoking
- High Salt intake
- High cholesterol in blood
- High Sugar in the blood
- Diabetes
- High LDL fats and cholesterol deposits in the body
These causes may eventually lead to plague formation and deposition in the arteries leading to blocking or narrowing of the artery walls and thereby decreasing flow of blood through them.
Also depending on the types of Angina, certain specific causes are:
1. STABLE ANGINA: This type of Angina is more related to stress and activity load. So certain common causes are:
- Physical exertion
- Disturbances on emotional level
- Heavy and fatty meals
- Cigarette smoking
2. UNSTABLE ANGINA: The causes of this type of angina are not specific and certain. Some causes that are seen are blood clots that suddenly block the blood flow.
3. VARIANT ANGINA: This usually occurs due to a spasm in the coronary artery. This can happen due to:
- Cocaine or any strong drug that stops the heart
- Cigarette smoking
- Medications reaction
- Sudden emotional trauma
- Sudden exposure to cold
4. MICROVASCULAR ANGINA: This type occurs due to blockage of some micro-vessels that block the flow of blood through them. This blockage could be due to cholesterol deposits, plague formation, or narrowing of the vessel.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ANGINA?
Angina is itself a sign of the underlying coronary artery disease. Although there are some symptoms that direct towards angina.
They are:
- Stable Angina: It has pain and a feeling of discomfort that is usually predictable. The reason for this pain is physical stress and it usually affects the neck, arms, chest, and shoulder regions. The symptoms usually feel like indigestion.
- Unstable Angina: In unstable angina the pain is not predictable. It usually comes as a surprise while the patient is not involved in any physical stress. The pain is severe, the duration is longer than stable angina.
- Variant angina: The pain is severe and comes on during rest especially late night or early morning hours.
- Microvascular Angina: the pain is more severe than any other type of angina. There may also be difficulty in breathing with shortness of breath and lack of sleep. There are usually sleep troubles with lack of energy.
