DESCRIPTION
Angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is a recurring discomfort or pain in the chest that occurs if an area of your heart doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in the chest. The pain also can occur in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina isn't a disease; it's a symptom of an underlying heart problem. It usually is a symptom of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). CHD is the most common type of heart disease in adults. It occurs if a waxy substance called plaque builds up on the inner walls of your coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Angina is not a heart attack although symptoms are similar.
MOTIVE
The Circulatory system is affected alongside the heart. This problem only occurs in the chest area and around it as it does not spread around the body.
VICTIMS
Angina currently affects more than 10 million people solely in
America, with 350,000 new cases diagnosed each year. This problem can occur in both sexes and all age groups, although it is most commonly found in males who are middle-aged or older. HIDE OUT
Angina is presumed to be hiding in the chest area within
Conorary arteries, not letting normal day to day citizens such as blood pass in its constant flow. It interrupts their commute to the heart by blocking the way with plaque.
CRIME
Angina is usually described as a pressing, burning or squeezing pain felt in the chest. Angina pain typically centers under the breastbone,
