Angina Pectoris and Hypertension
May, 24 1999 - Boca Raton, FL - Angina pectoris and hypertension are early warning signs of coronary artery disease, which affects ten million Americans every year. What exactly causes these conditions, and what can be done to prevent and treat them?
Angina pectoris is the clinical term for chest pain due to coronary heart disease, and hypertension means high blood pressure.
Enormous advances have been made in the understanding of coronary artery disease and the management of angina pectoris. This understanding has led to a more comprehensive treatment of angina, which incorporates lifestyle and risk factor modifications as well as new drug therapies.
