*ANGINA: An Early Sign Of An Heart Attack*
Angina is chest discomfort or pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, usually associated with coronary heart disease.
It's a symptom of heart disease, and it happens when something blocks your arteries or there's not enough blood flow in the arteries that bring oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
Angina differs from a heart attack because the reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle is only temporary and does not result in damage to the heart muscle. During a heart attack, the interrupted blood flow can result in the heart muscle being damaged or destroyed.
People with angina, however, are at higher risk of having a heart attack
*Coronary heart disease* is the most common cause of reduced blood flow to the heart in people with angina. Coronary heart disease is the build-up of fatty deposits on the inside of the coronary arteries causing them to become narrow and restricting the amount of blood flowing to the heart muscle.
*Types of angina*
There are two main types of angina:
*Stable angina:* pain lasting 5-15 minutes that is relieved by angina medication. It usually has a trigger, such as physical exercise or exertion, anxiety or emotional stress, cold temperatures, or heavy meals
*Unstable angina:* pain lasting longer than 15 minutes that may not be fully relieved by angina medication. It may indicate that you are having a heart attack. Unstable angina often occurs without a specific trigger.
*Symptoms of angina in men and women*
_Angina in Women vs. Men_
Men often feel pain in their chest, neck, and shoulders. Women may feel discomfort in their belly, neck, jaw, throat, or back. You may also have shortness of breath, sweating, or dizziness.
One study found that women were more likely to use the words "pressing" or "crushing" to describe the feeling.
*Angina causes*
Angina usually happens because of heart disease. A fatty substance called plaque builds up in your arteries, blocking blood flow to your heart muscle. This forces your heart to work with less oxygen. That causes pain. You may also have blood clots in the arteries of your heart, which can cause heart attacks.
Oxidative stress is evidenced in patients with unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction and deficiency of antioxidant plays an important role in the pathogenesis (the manner of development of a disease) of coronary heart disease.
Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant in the body, it is our body miracle molecule, best cell detoxifier and ultimate cell protector.
Oxidative stress is responsible for the blockage of the arteries due to the deficiency of Glutathione in the body as the most Powerful detoxifier. So increasing the Glutathione production in the body empowers the body to clear off the blockage causing the reduction of blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscles.
*_CELLGEVITY is the most advance formula in the world that raises glutathione level within the cells with Ribociene technology. And this Ribocine technology has been scientifically proven to be 300% better in raising glutathoine level than the next best alternative NAC_*
