Angina Pectoris
Definition :
Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome
usually characterized by episodes of pain
or pressure in the anterior chest . The
cause is usually insufficient coronary
blood flow which results in a decreased
oxygen supply to meet an increased
myocardial demand for oxygen in response
to physical exertion or emotional stress.

Medical management for
the pt with angina pectoris
14
• The objective is to decrease
oxygen demand of myocardium
and to increase oxygen supply
• 1.Nitroglycerin : administered to
reduce myocardial oxygen
consumption
15
2.Beta-adrenergic blocking agents :
( propranolol ,metoprolol , atenolol)
appear to reduce myocardial oxygen
consumption, result in a reduction in
heart rate, decreased BP , and
reduced myocardial contractility .
16
3-Calcium channel blocking
agents : some decrease
sinoatrial node automaticity and
node conduction ,resulting in
slower heart rate
17
4- Antiplatelet and
anticoagulent
medications
19
Prevention
Stop smoking
Increase level of exercise
Cut down on fatty foods
Eat more oats, which decrease
cholesterol
20
Lose wt if u DR. thinks you are
