PY - 2009 T2 - Pharmacology for the Physical Therapist AB - The name angina pectoris refers to a strangling or pressure-like pain caused by cardiac ischemia. Angina is the most common condition involving tissue ischemia in which vasodilatordrugs or cardiac depressants are used. The pain may be located substernally, radiating to the neck, in the left upper extremity, occasionally in the right upper extremity, or in the epigastrium. However, not all cardiac ischemia is associated with pain. Clinical conditions exist, such as silent myocardial infarction, in which myocardial ischemia or necrosis may occur without pain. Anginal pain is often atypical in women. SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=6091276 ER -
