ANGINA - a patient's guide

Dr Guy Armstrong - Cardiologist

What is angina? (other names, angina pectoris, effort angina)

Normal

The heart, like other organs, requires blood to supply it with oxygen and other nutrients. Blood vessels called arteries carry blood from the pumping chamber of the heart around the body. The arteries supplying blood to the heart are the coronary arteries

also

I have only found about 3 Sp references with "angór de stress" and usually in inverted commas ("stress").

There are no bona fide medical English sites, that I can find, with
"stress angina".

So I suggest

effort angina, stress-related angina

as my contribution

* Stable angina

Stable angina occurs when a patient experiences chest discomfort in a predictable pattern; episodes are predominantly exercise or stress related. The vast majority of patients with angina pectoris have obstructive coronary disease. However, in a minority of cases, angina pectoris may be secondary to other cardiac conditions, such as aortic stenosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Angina can also be exacerbated by non-cardiac conditions, including anaemia and thyrotoxicosis. A very small proportion of patients may have apparently normal coronary arteries.

* Unstable angina

Unstable angina is a serious condition characterised by progressive symptoms which may include increased severity and increased frequency of pain, reduced effort capacity, rest pain and nocturnal pain. The pathology of unstable angina differs from that of stable angina; pathological features include plaque rupture, thrombus formation and vasospasm. The condition is associated with a high rate of infarction and demands urgent investigation and treatment.

Diagnosis of angina pectoris and initial investigations

Initial diagnosis of stable angina is based on a history of effort-related chest discomfort. With the exception of unstable angina, when the history is short, pain which is not effort related, or which lasts for several hours, is rarely angina. The presence of risk factors (cigarette smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, a positive family history, diabetes mellitus) makes the diagnosis more likely. Examination is often unhelpful but may identify evidence of secondary causes (aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and evidence of risk factors such as hypertension or hyperlipidaemia.

exertion angina

Episodic chest discomfort, often described as heaviness or squeezing lasting 1–15 minutes. Pain may radiate to the jaw, neck, shoulder, or the left arm. Symptoms typically are precipitated by exertion, cold weather, or emotional upset, and relieved by rest. Family history of premature CAD, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cigarette smoking. Exam may be normal, but if the patient is examined during an ischemic episode, an S3 or S4 may be heard.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Rita Tepper : la traducción no es incorrecta, pero en español ángor y angina de pecho son sinónimos. Los médicos usamos ambos términos queriendo decir lo mismo/Lo leí, pero aclaro como se usan en el argot médico.

Reference:

Angor animi (also referred to as angina animi[1][2], Gairdner's disease[2] and also angina pectoris sine dolore[2]), in medicine, is a symptom defined as a patient's perception that they are in fact dying. Most cases of angor animi are found in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (cardiac related chest pain) such as angina. It is, however, occasionally found in patients suffering from other conditions[1].
Angor animi is differentiated from a fear or desire for death[1], since Angor animi refers to a patient's actual and genuine belief that they are in the present act of dying[1].
The phrase is derived from the two Latin terms which it is composed of, namely angor and animi.
Angor (different but related to the word anger), in modern English, refers to a great anxiety[3], distress[4], or mental anguish[4] often accompanied by a painful constriction and palpitations at the upper abdomen and lower thorax (chest)[3].
Animi means an animating spirit, intention or temper[5].

Angor animi es un término que se usaba cuando yo estudiaba Medicina, y se refiere a la sensación de muerte inminente que acompaña a los cuadros de angina de pecho. No tiene nada que ver con lo que se pregunta.

Angor y angina de pecho se usan como sinónimos en el argot médico, sobre todo en Argentina.
