Notes: www.registerednursern.com/ang...
The cause of angina is limited blood flow, which is usually caused by fatty plaque in the artery, which restricts blood flow. These fatty plaques can rupture, leading to a complete blockage and heart attack (myocardial infarction).
There are three main types of angina:
-Stable angina (also called exertional angina). This is a type of chest pain the develops during physical or emotional exertion.
-Unstable angina (also called preinfarction angina). This is a type of chest pain that can occur before a myocardial infarction.
-Variant angina (also called prinzmetal or vasospastic angina). This is the least common type of angina, and this occurs due to vasospasms occuring on a main coronary artery.
