Abstract

Angina is a clinical syndrome characterized by pain, discomfort or pressure in the chest, more often behind the chest, which sometimes radiates to the neck, jaw, left shoulder blade, or arm. These sensations may occur under load (acceleration of the pace of walking, climbing stairs, psycho-emotional stress), rise in blood pressure (BP) (in this case, non-threatening cardialgia or true angina may take place). In cold windy season, angina may occur at leaving a warm room for the street. The true incidence of angina is unknown, but according to various epidemiological studies, it is found in 6--16% of men and 3-10% of women aged 65--74 years.
