Include silent ischemia1
Unstable angina pectoris3
Form of unstable angina1
  • This is a specific form of unstable angina that can occur at any time (no trigger event causes it to happen). (rxharun.com)
Spasm5
  • Variant angina occurs when the artery has a spasm and either narrows or closes completely. (canadapharmacy.com)
  • Variant Angina Variant angina is angina pectoris secondary to epicardial coronary artery spasm. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Variant angina pectoris (VAP) is a special type of unstable angina with coronary artery spasm as the main pathogenesis, characterized by resting chest pain, and transient ST segment dynamic changes. (koreamed.org)
  • Variant angina - is caused by a spasm in a coronary artery, causing it to temporarily narrow. (rxharun.com)
  • To determine whether ischemia-reperfusion injury causes this acute-phase response, we studied the temporal relation between plasma levels of CRP and ischemic episodes in 48 patients with unstable angina and 20 control patients with active variant angina, in which severe myocardial ischemia is caused by occlusive coronary artery spasm. (ox.ac.uk)
Ischemia10
  • Angina pectoris is the result of myocardial ischemia caused by an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and oxygen demand. (medscape.com)
  • Angina results when blood flow to the heart muscle is inadequate (causing a condition known as ischemia) due to a number of conditions. (studentnow.com)
  • unstable angina is caused by an active unstable atherosclerotic plaque, which attracts platelets, undergoes thrombosis, and increases in size day by day, ultimately causing complete blockage resulting in myocardial ischemia (heart attack). (cura4u.com)
  • Angina Pectoris Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome of precordial discomfort or pressure due to transient myocardial ischemia without infarction. (msdmanuals.com)
  • 1 Another description of angina states that it is a "discomfort in the chest or adjacent areas caused by myocardial ischemia. (rxharun.com)
