The Connection Between Angina and Heart Attacks

High cholesterol is a key risk factor in heart disease which is the biggest killer in America today. The earliest symptoms of coronary artery disease are usually shortness of breath and chest pain which is called angina. Episodes of angina most commonly occur after physical exertion. When the heart’s need for oxygen is increased beyond what can be provided by the restricted blood flow. Sometimes, the build up of plaque is so severe that the arteries become completely blocked, cutting off blood flow to the heart. This causes the death of heart muscle cells which is called a heart attack. The symptoms of a heart attack differ for everyone but many people describe the pain of experience as radiating outwards and leading to the back, throat or jaw. Severe pain in the left arm is another commonly reported symptom. A distinct shortage of breath, weakness and dizziness are also signs that you may be experiencing a heart attack and should seek emergency medical assistance.
