61. Angina Pectoris Discussion on stable and unstable angina, variant and prinzmetal's angina, testing, treatments, and invasive procedures. http://www.medceu.com/tests/ANGINA.htm

MEDCEU COURSE MATERIAL Study this material before taking your quiz. By the end of this course, the learner will be able to: Identify the clinical symptoms of angina. Describe three types of angina. Identify the major diagnostic tests for angina. Identify the various medical therapies for angina including invasive therapeutic procedures. Overview: A typical patient with angina is 50-60 year-old male or a 65 to 75-year old woman. The Framingham Study, a long term study started in 1949 consisting of 5127 men and women who since have been examined at two-year intervals to determine factors relating to the development of heart disease, has determined that one in four men with angina can expect to have a myocardial infarction within 5 years; that for women the risk is about half that for men; and that the 8-year mortality rate in patients with angina who are over 55 is about 30%, of which about 44% of the deaths will be sudden. Angina is estimated to effect 7,120,000 people in the United States and 350,000 new cases of angina occur each year. The estimated crude prevalence of angina: for non-Hispanic white women is 4.1%, for men is 3.4%; for non-Hispanic black women 4.6%, and men 2.6%; for Mexican-American women 4.6% and men 3.4%.

Advanced Search Ludwig's Angina in Children RICHARD W. HARTMANN, JR., M.D. Halifax Medical Center Daytona Beach, Florida Ludwig's angina is a potentially life-threatening, rapidly expanding, diffuse inflammation of the submandibular and sublingual spaces that occurs most often in young adults with dental infections. However, this disorder can develop in children, in whom it can cause serious airway compromise. Symptoms include severe neck pain and swelling, fever, malaise and dysphagia. Stridor suggests an impending airway crisis. Causative bacteria include many gram-negative and anaerobic organisms, streptococci and staphylococci. Initial treatment consists of high doses of penicillin G given intravenously, sometimes in combination with other drugs. Patients usually recover without complications. (Am Fam Physician 1999;60:109-12.) L udwig's angina was described initially by Wilhelm Frederick von Ludwig in 1836. Five patients had marked swelling of the neck that progressed to involve the tissues covering the muscles between the larynx and the floor of the mouth. Ludwig described indurated edema of the submandibular and sublingual areas with minimal throat inflammation but without lymph node involvement or suppuration. At that time, the condition was almost always fatal. Illustrative Cases Case 1 A 14-month-old girl was admitted to the hospital because of swelling below the chin that had increased during the previous two days. Fever developed on the day of admission, and she had reduced fluid intake and urine output.

Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C. D espite a decline in mortality from cardiovascular disease, it remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Moreover, the morbidity and socioeconomic consequences of coronary heart disease will be accentuated in future years by the growing numbers of elderly persons in the U.S. population and the increased frequency of ischemic heart disease in the elderly. New diagnostic techniques allow earlier diagnosis of coronary artery disease, and noninvasive and invasive therapies provide an opportunity for earlier management of this disease. Chronic stable angina, a manifestation of coronary artery disease, can represent increased morbidity and mortality from the disease. It is generally accepted that coronary revascularization alleviates anginal symptoms and, in specific subgroups, improves mortality as well.

Fish Oils and Angina/Heart Attack Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and angina/heart attack Fish oils protect women against heart disease BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. There is ample evidence that frequent fish consumption or supplementation with fish oils markedly reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac death, and heart attacks in men. Up until now there has been little work done to see if the same holds true for women. Researchers at the Harvard Public School of Health have just released the results of a major study aimed at remedying this situation. Hu, Frank B., et al. Fish and omega-3 fatty acid intake and risk of coronary heart disease in women. Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 287, April 10, 2002, pp. 1815-21 Fish oils: a must for heart attack survivors SANTA MARIA IMBARO, ITALY. A group of Italian researchers (GISSI) reported in 1999 that supplementation with fish oil reduces the mortality among patients who have survived a first heart attack. Their study involved over 11,000 heart attack survivors who supplemented with 1 gram/day of fish oil (580 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and 290 mg of docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) for 3.5 years.

ANGINA DE PECHO SINTOMAS DIAGNOSTICO TRATAMIENTO ... VER SIGNOS Y SÍNTOMAS Los ataques se desencadenan, generalmente, por ejercicio (levantar pesos, deporte, actividad sexual) o stress emocional, y se alivian con el reposo. También pueden desencadenarse por frío extremo o por comidas pesadas. Sentimiento de ansiedad o de muerte inminente. La angina es un síntoma, y no una enfermedad. Es el resultado directo de la falta de sangre en el músculo cardíaco (isquemia). Cuando uno se esfuerza, el corazón necesita más oxígeno para trabajar más. Cuando las arterias coronarias están afectadas y no pueden ajustarse al aumento de la demanda de sangre, los nervios del corazón transmiten mensajes dolorosos de aviso urgente al cerebro. El dolor referido o irradiado se debe a que el cerebro, por confusión, siente los impulsos desde localizaciones cercanas como los brazos, el cuello o la mandíbula. La angina es frecuente. En los hombres ocurre generalmente después de los 30 años de edad, y en las mujeres más tarde. La causa, en la mayor parte de los casos, es la arteriosclerosis. La angina estable es la que ocurre siempre con el mismo nivel de ejercicio, y la duración de los ataques es similar. Cuando los ataques se hacen más frecuentes y largos o no están ligados a actividad física, los cardiólogos hablan de angina inestable, que puede ser el aviso de un infarto inminente y necesita tratamiento especial.

Angina Pectoris What is angina pectoris? Angina pectoris (or simply angina) is recurring chest pain or discomfort that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. Angina is a symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when arteries that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis. What are the symptoms of angina pectoris? Angina pectoris occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) does the adequate amount of blood it needs for a given level of work (Insufficient blood supply is called ischemia.). The following are the most common symptoms of angina. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: a pressing, squeezing, or crushing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone pain radiating in the arms, shoulders, jaw, neck, and/or back chest pain usually begins with physical exertion, although, other triggers include emotional stress, extreme cold and heat, heavy meals, excessive alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking chest pain associated with angina is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed cardiac medication Angina Vs.

Angina pectoris (Herzenge) Prof. Dr. Manfred Zehetgruber Was ist Angina pectoris? Die Pfeile zeigen auf die Herzkranzgefäße im vorderen Teil des Herzens. Bei der Angina pectoris führt eine akute Unterversorgung des Herzmuskels mit Sauerstoff und Nährstoffen zu starken Schmerzen in der Herzgegend. Engegefühl, Atembeklemmungen und Schmerzen in der Brustmitte sind die Folge. Die Schmerzen können in verschiedene Richtungen ausstrahlen und sehr unterschiedliche Beschwerden hervorrufen. Deswegen werden Angina-pectoris-Beschwerden manchmal fälschlich als Magen-, Zahn- oder Schulter- und Armschmerzen gedeutet. Wie kommt es zur "Herzenge"? Die Ursache der Erkrankung ist die drastische Verengung oder sogar der Verschluss eines oder mehrerer Herzkranzgefäße (Koronararterien). Diese versorgen normalerweise das Herz mit Blut. Kommt es jedoch zu einer Verengung von mehr als 90 Prozent, gelangt nicht mehr genügend Blut zum Herzmuskel - eine Unterversorgung ist die Folge. Das führt - vor allem bei körperlicher Anstrengung - zu Schmerzen (Angina pectoris) und Atemnot. Auch andere Erkrankungen wie Blutmangel ( Anämie ), Stoffwechselerkrankungen (z. B.

Acute Prostatitis Altitude sickness Anaphylaxis Angina ... Typhus Illnesses/Diseases Angina Definition Angina, or angina pectoris, is the medical term for chest pains behind the breastbone. It is a common manifestation of coronary artery disease. Cause Angina usually occurs when the heart must work harder, and the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen, a condition called myocardial ischemia. Generally, angina is caused by hardening and narrowing of the coronary arteries by deposits of fatty plaque (atherosclerosis). These narrowed arteries may be able to deliver enough blood to the heart muscle to carry out normal activities without symptoms, but any extra demand for example, climbing stairs, running to catch a bus, getting upset or angry, eating a large meal, or going out on a cold, windy day may cause angina. In some cases, angina is caused by spasms of the muscles that control blood flow in the arteries. This is called variant angina. These attacks may occur even when a person is at rest. Diagnosis Typically, angina is described as a pressing or squeezing pain that starts in the center of the chest and may spread to the shoulders or arms (most often on the left side although either or both sides may be involved), the neck, jaw, or back. Often, angina can be diagnosed on the basis of symptoms alone. As part of the diagnostic examination, an exercise tolerance (stress) test may be ordered, and if your doctor suspects more severe narrowing, she may recommend coronary angiography.

General Illness Information Common Name: Coronary Artery Disease Medical Term: Ischemic Heart Disease Description: Coronary artery disease is a condition in which fatty deposits (atheroma) accumulate in the cells lining the wall of the coronary arteries. These fatty deposits build up gradually and irregularly in the large branches of the two main coronary arteries which encircle the heart and are the main source of its blood supply. This process is called atherosclerosis which leads to narrowing or hardening of the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries ).This results in ischemia ( inability to provide adequate oxygen) to heart muscle and this can cause damage to the heart muscle . Complete occlusion of the blood vessel leads to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). In the United States , cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both sexes, and coronary artery disease is the commonest cause of cardiovascular disease.
