what is residual angina
Angina is pain, discomfort, or pressure localized in the chest that is caused by an insufficient supply of blood (ischemia) to the heart muscle.It is also sometimes characterized by a feeling of choking, suffocation, or crushing heaviness.This condition is also called angina pectoris.ecause episodes of angina occur when the heart's need for oxygen increases beyond the oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart, the condition is often precipitated by physical exertion. In most cases, the symptoms are relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medications.
