Definition:
Chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart is known as angina or angina pectoris. Hardening of the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) that supply the heart with blood is usually a contributing factor to this health issue.
Three types of Angina exist, they are as follows:
| STABLE ANGINA: | This type of chest pain (Angina) occurs during exercise and is usually quite predictable. It is usually associated with atherosclerosis.
| | VARIANT ANGINA: | This kind of chest pain (Angina) may occur during rest or exercise. The primarily cause of this is mainly because of a sudden coronary artery spasm.
| | UNSTABLE ANGINA: | This is the most serious of the three types of Angina. This type generally occurs with little to no predictability and can rapidly move towards a heart attack. |
Cause:
The health of the whole circulatory system is impaired due to the improper lifestyle and diet. Hardening of the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) that supply the heart with blood is usually a contributing factor to this health issue. A few of the obvious are cigarette smoking, which causes damage to the coronary arteries and, in this way, can contribute to angina. Stopping smoking is critical for anyone with angina who smokes. Secondhand smoke should be avoided as well for it is just as deadly as first hand smoke.
