Can somebody explain the word " Angina" ?

Question

Is it a disease? a medical complication? a misspelled Angelina? or nick for you-know-what?

Answer 1

The word "angina" comes from the Latin verb "angere" meaning "to choke or throttle." "Angina" is now the same as "angina pectoris" (the Latin "pectus" = "chest").
The Angelina gives you a real shock that it will make your 100 Billion Neurons short circuited, and there is a total BURN OUT OF YOUR HEART. YOU ARE ALIVE BUT DEAD, AND YOU WILL LONG THAT THIS HAPPENS OVER OVER AGAIN.
When it comes to humor we the medical community are the best Here is a list of various Angees/Angelique/or your mispelled Angelina:
AA American angina (like everyone else's angina but deserved its own name
for some reason)
BA black angina (same as white angina)
CA covert angina (like silent myocardial ischaemia but won't admit to it
under questioning)
DA decentralised angina (in the era of telemedicine, central chest pain
is
just so old fashioned!)
EA expensive angina (has BUPA/PPP cover)
FA French angina (more angst than pain, really)
GA gay angina (an older term for "jolly angina" which has fallen into
disuse for obvious reasons)
HA hot angina (like unstable angina but only occurs in Latin countries)
IA incomprehensible angina (no coronary lesions, middle aged woman, can't
think of another explanation)
JA jolly angina (a disease of the English upper classes, who know a
cardiac
diagnosis when they get one!)
KA kilo angina (congratulations, you've just had your 1,000th attack!)
LA lucrative angina (easily diagnosed, easily treated, easily billed)
MA Mastercard angina (prompt payers are always welcome...)
NA not angina (the corollary, common in women and upper social classes, a
great waster of health care resources)
OA outrageous angina (occurs after previous CABG and PTCA in a VIP)
PA pernicious anaemia (sorry, what's that doing in here??)
QA query angina (general practitioner diagnosis - might be a broken
rib...)
RA royal angina (occurs when blue blood reaches the left heart...)
SA stoical angina (occurs in blue-collar workers who don't like to
complain)
TA true angina (one in a hundred classical case with classical response
to
treatment)
UA untreatable angina (doesn't exist in private practice)
VA variant angina (i.e., not the same as the last patient)
WA white angina (see "black angina")
XA xenophobic angina (only occurs on foreign trips)
YA youthful angina (definition: patient is younger than the cardiologist)
ZA zipcode angina (only diagnosable within the zip code area of a major
cardiology centre)

Answer 2

Angina is a medical condition. It is when the arteries to the heart muscle itself (the coronaries) can't supply enough Oxygen to the pumping & working heart. This is due to either a plaque of fatty gunk or a spasm in the artery that restricts blood flow. The heart that isn't getting enough oxygen is in pain--the pain being called angina. This can be a pre-event to a heart attack or just a condition all on its own.

Answer 3

angina = chest pain...as in signs of a heart attack

Answer 4

It is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle does not get enough blood.
