Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t get as much blood as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart’s arteries is narrowed or blocked, also called ischemia.
Since it occurs in different forms, Angina pectoris must be treated according to the etiology (causation), e.g., atherosclerosis with arterial blockages or coronary artery vasospasm. It is generally managed with an individualized combination of diet, exercise, stress reduction methods, and specific nutraceutical agents that naturally increase coronary artery blood flow, along with constitutional (whole body) homeopathy. Conventional medicines and/or surgery may sometimes be necessary in severe cases.
