Erhardt L, et al. Eur Heart J; 2012: 23, 1153 - 1176 Definition of Angina Angina is pain or constricting discomfort that typically occurs in the front of the chest (may radiate to the neck, shoulders, jaw or arms), brought on by physical exertion or emotional stress. Atypical symptoms gastrointestinal discomfort, breathlessness or nausea. Main symptom of myocardial ischaemia caused by atherosclerotic obstructive coronary artery disease restricting blood flow and therefore oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. Stable angina: management, NICE guideline 2011, nice.org.uk/guidance/cg126 Stable Angina Is a chronic medical condition with a low but appreciable incidence of acute coronary events and increased mortality. The aim of management is to stop or minimise symptoms, and to improve quality of life and long- term morbidity and mortality. Management options include lifestyle advice, drug treatment and revascularisation using percutaneous or surgical techniques.
