Stable angina

Stable angina is chest pain or discomfort that most often occurs with activity or emotional stress. Angina is due to poor blood flow through the blood vessels in the heart.

Causes

Your heart muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen. The coronary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart.

When the heart muscle has to work harder, it needs more oxygen. Symptoms of angina occur when blood supply to heart muscle is reduced. This happens when the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked by atherosclerosis or by a blood clot.

The most common cause of angina is coronary artery disease. Angina pectoris is the medical term for this type of chest pain. click here : Monit 20

There are many risk factors for coronary artery disease. Some include:

Diabetes
High LDL cholesterol
Low HDL cholesterol
Sedentary lifestyle
Smoking
Advancing age
Male sex
Anything that makes the heart muscle need more oxygen or reduces the amount of oxygen it receives can cause an angina attack in someone with heart disease, including:
Cold weather
Exercise
Emotional stress
Large meals

Other causes of angina include:

Abnormal heart rhythms (your heart beats very quickly or your heart rhythm is not regular)

Anemia

Coronary artery spasm (also called Prinzmetal angina)

Heart failure

Heart valve disease

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)

Symptoms

Symptoms of stable angina are most often predictable. This means that the same amount of exercise or activity may cause your angina to occur. Your angina should improve or go away when you stop or slow down the exercise.

The most common symptom is chest pain that occurs behind the breastbone or slightly to the left of it. The pain of stable angina most often begins slowly and gets worse over the next few minutes before going away. click here : Cartinex 500

Fatigue
Shortness of breath
