REPORT DESCRIPTION
Angina Pectoris Treatment Market – Overview
Angina pectoris is a medical term for chest pain or discomfort, which is caused due to coronary heart
disease. Angina pectoris mainly occurs when heart muscle are unable to receive adequate blood. This
condition usually occurs when one or more of the heart’s arteries are narrowed or blocked, which is also
known as ischemia. Angina pectoris leads to uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the
center of the chest. The factors that trigger stable angina pectoris include, emotional stress, exposure to
very hot or cold temperature, heavy meals or smoking. Angina pectoris can be diagnosed by an
electrocardiogram and angiography and could be treated by medication, change in life style, and surgery. A
minimal invasive procedure known as angioplasty is also used to treat the angina pectoris. The pain or
discomfort caused by angina pectoris is relieved with rest and nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin relaxes the
coronary arteries and other blood vessels by increasing the blood flow to the heart vessels.
