What is Angina Pectoris?
Angina pectoris is the name for a clinical syndrome rather than a disease. It is also known as stable angina. The term is used to describe discomfort or chest pain when the muscle cells of the heart don’t get enough blood to properly carry out their pumping function. It is likely to occur when the coronary blood flow is less than is required. Symptoms include pain in the chest radiating to the left arm, breathlessness, palpitation, sweating, nausea, dizziness or fainting, heaviness or tightness in the chest or upper abdomen.
