Angina pectoris with documented spasm - what does this mean
Angina pectoris with documented spasm is a condition in which the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen due to narrowed or blocked arteries. this can cause chest pain or discomfort, which is usually relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. the spasm is a constriction of the blood vessels that further restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, resulting in increased chest pain and discomfort.
What happens during the disease - angina pectoris with documented spasm
Angina pectoris with documented spasm is a cardiovascular condition caused by an imbalance between oxygen demand and oxygen supply in the heart. this imbalance is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, which reduces the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can reach the heart. when the heart requires more oxygen than the narrowed arteries can provide, the result is a spasm of the coronary artery, which further reduces the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can reach the heart. the resulting chest pain is known as angina pectoris.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Evaluate patient’s medical history to determine the presence of risk factors for angina pectoris.
- Perform physical examination to assess the patient’s cardiovascular system.
- Order laboratory tests such as complete blood count, lipid profile, and cardiac enzyme tests.
- Order electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the patient’s electrical activity of the heart.
- Order echocardiogram to assess the patient’s heart structure and function.
- Perform stress test to assess the patient’s heart function during physical activity.
- Perform coronary angiogram to assess the patient’s coronary arteries.
- Perform transesophageal echocardiogram to assess the patient’s heart structure and function.
- Perform cardiac catheterization to assess the patient’s coronary arteries.
- Refer the patient to a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
- Prescribe medications to reduce the risk of angina pectoris and to improve the patient’s symptoms.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the frequency and severity of angina pectoris with documented spasm.
- Prescribe medications to reduce chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart, such as nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers.
- Prescribe medications to reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
- Refer patient to a cardiologist or other specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
- Encourage patient to quit smoking and to exercise regularly.
- Educate patient on lifestyle modifications to reduce stress and improve overall health.
- Recommend stress management techniques, such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing.
- Recommend cardiac rehabilitation program to improve physical fitness and quality of life.
- Monitor patient for signs and symptoms of cardiac complications.
10 Days of Hospitalization Required

Angina pectoris with documented spasm - Prevention
The best way to prevent angina pectoris with documented spasm is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. this includes eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and controlling any underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. additionally, it is important to take any prescribed medications as directed and to monitor any changes in symptoms.
