What is Angina?
Angina is chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It is often triggered by physical activity or emotional stress and subsides with rest or medication. Angina is not a disease itself but a symptom of coronary artery disease. Recognizing and treating it early can help prevent severe heart complications, such as heart attacks. There are different types of angina, each with varying symptoms and severity. A proper diagnosis is essential for effective management and to improve quality of life.
