What does ANGINA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A heart condition in which exertion or stress triggers episodes of chest pain because too little blood reaches the heart muscle.
Angina, more fully angina pectoris, results when narrowed arteries let too little oxygen-rich blood reach the heart during physical effort or stress, producing a tight, pressing pain across the chest that often spreads to the arm, jaw or back. The pain usually eases with rest or medication that widens the blood vessels, which is one way doctors tell it apart from a heart attack, where the blockage is complete and the pain does not pass. An older medical sense of angina described any severe, choking throat inflammation, such as quinsy, and survives mainly in historical medical writing. Modern usage overwhelmingly refers to the heart condition.
