Angina is a prevalent heart condition, especially
amongst the ageing population of the UK. It is
however, challenging to identify. Angina
typically feels like a heaviness, dull ache, or
tightness in the chest, but because angina
symptoms often arise during exercise, stressful
situations or after a large meal, and can be
alleviated with rest, angina is often mistaken
for something less serious. As a result, many
dont seek help until they have already lived
with their condition for some time.

How is angina diagnosed? Angina diagnosis
centres use several tests to diagnose angina and
assess the risk of strokes and heart attacks,
including the following Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG is a simple test that checks for the
electrical signals produced by your heart when it
is beating. The ECG records each heartbeat, and a
doctor can look at the results to see if anything
is unusual. ECGs require sensors to be attached
to your skin.  Coronary angiography  A Coronary
angiography involves taking an X-ray of the
hearts arteries to produce an image of the blood
supplies to the heart. This can help doctors
analyse if there are narrowed or blocked blood
vessels that might be restricting the blood flow
to your heart.

Blood tests Testing a patients blood can reveal
specific enzymes such as troponin. These are
released into your blood after someone might have
suffered severe angina or a heart attack.
Furthermore, blood tests can reveal higher
cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. These place
patients at a higher risk of coronary artery
disease and angina. Visit an angina diagnosis
