PREVENTION
• For preventing hypertension:
• maintain normal body weight for adults (e.g. body mass index 20–25 kg/m2)
• reduce dietary sodium intake to <100 mmol/ day (<6 g of sodium chloride or <2.4
g of sodium per day)
• engage in physical activity such as brisk walking (≥30 min per day, most days of
the week)
• limit alcohol consumption
• consume a diet rich in fruit and vegetables
Drugs to Treat High Blood Pressure
• There are several types of drugs used to treat high blood pressure,
including:
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
• Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
• Diuretics
• Beta-blockers
• Calcium channel blockers
• Alpha-blocker
• Renin inhibitors
• Combination medications
ANGINA PECTORIS
• Angina pectoris is chest pain or
discomfort caused when your heart
muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich
blood. The discomfort also can occur in
your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or
back
SYMPTOMS
• Symptoms of angina include:
• Chest pain or discomfort, such as
tightening of the chest
• Discomfort in the jaw, neck, arms,
upper abdomen, shoulder or back
• Fatigue
• Sweating
• Nausea
• Dizziness
CAUSES
• Angina results when there is an imbalance between the heart's
oxygen demand and supply.
• This imbalance can result from an increase in demand (e.g., during
exercise) without a proportional increase in supply
• However, the pathophysiology of angina in females varies significantly
as compared to male’s Non-obstructive coronary disease is more
common in females Pathophysiology
Medical problems
• Hyperthyroidism
• Hypoxemia
• Profound anaemia
• Uncontrolled hypertension.
Cardiac problems
• Tachyarrhythmia Bradyarrhythmia
• Valvular heart disease,
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Diagnosis
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
This test records the electrical activity of the heart, which is used to
diagnose heart abnormalities such as arrhythmias or to show
ischemia (lack of oxygen and blood) to the heart.
• Stress test without imaging:
This heart-monitoring test is used to help evaluate how well the heart
performs with activity. During a stress test, you will usually be asked to
perform physical exercise, like walking on a treadmill.
An ECG is recorded during the period of exercise.
If you are unable to perform exercise, pharmaceuticals that mimic the
heart's response to exercise may be used.

• Blood tests:
The tests can identify certain enzymes such as troponin that leak into
the blood after your heart has suffered severe angina or a heart attack.
• Blood tests can also identify elevated cholesterol, LDL
and triglycerides that place you at higher risk for coronary artery
disease and therefore angina.

arteries and improve blood flow to the heart
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)
• Rare
• A spasm in a coronary artery causes this type of angina. Variant
angina usually occurs while you're at rest, and the pain can
be severe. It usually happens between midnight and early
morning. Medicine can relieve this type of angina.
