Stable Angina
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Stable angina is a type of pain or discomfort in the chest that appears predictably when the heart requires more oxygen, for example with exertion or intense emotions, and usually eases with rest.
Frequent symptoms: a sensation of pressure, tightness, or heaviness in the chest, which sometimes extends to the arm, neck, or jaw, and improves upon stopping.
When to see a doctor? Any recurrent chest pain deserves evaluation; if the discomfort is severe, prolonged, or appears at rest, it is a situation that requires immediate attention.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and, when appropriate, the cardiovascular surgeon are the ones who evaluate and follow up on angina. Discussing these episodes with a heart professional is the most sensible step.
