Angina, or chest pain of cardiac origin is typically characterized by a pressure type pain which may travel down your left arm, jaw, or neck. It may be accompanied by sweating and shortness of breath. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately proceed to your nearest emergency room.
Angina pectoris (also known as angina). This occurs when bloodflow is restricted due to the narrowing of the main arteries of the heart. Important Note: If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, call for ambulance immediately. Hope this helped:-)
Angina
No, it's another name for "chest pain". Chest pain is associated with having a heart-attack, but can also just occur by itself (without a heart-attack).
Angina pectoris refers to chest pain, usually associated with a heart attack.

heart attack or angina pectoris
Yes, angina can lead to a heart attack. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease, indicating that the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen due to reduced blood flow. If the underlying condition worsens, it can result in a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack. Therefore, it's essential for individuals experiencing angina to seek medical evaluation and management.
Angina Pectoris is when the heart is deprived of oxygen-rich blood. Because the person is not getting blood to the heart, this causes heart muscle to die which in turn causes the heart attack.
The pain of lack of oxygen to the heart (angina) is similar in both heart attack and coronary artery disease. Heart attack is the presence of damage to the heart as a result of this lack of oxygen.
Yes, I hope so.
During an attack of this sort, they are most common in the pectoral region or the chest muscles behind the breasts. Angina in women symptoms usually do not include the upper arm muscles.
