| '''Abdominal angina''' (a.k.a. '''[[bowelgina]]''') is postprandial [[abdominal pain]] that occurs in individuals with insufficient blood flow to meet visceral demands. The term ''angina'' is used in reference to [[Angina pectoris|angina pectoris]], a similar symptom due to obstruction of the [[coronary artery]]. The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines abdominal angina (bowelgina) as "Intermittent [[abdominal pain]], frequently occurring at a fixed time after eating, caused by inadequacy of the mesenteric circulation. Also called intestinal angina; bowelgina." <ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.kmle.com/search.php?Search=abdominal+angina | title = ''KMLE Medical Dictionary Definition of abdominal angina'' | author = [http://www.kmle.com The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary]}}</ref>

| |
|
| The pathophysiology is similar to that seen in [[angina pectoris]] and [[intermittent claudication]]. The most common cause of bowelgina is atherosclerotic vascular disease, where the occlusive process commonly involves the ostia and the proximal few centimeters of the mesenteric vessels.

| == Clinical ==
| |
| *''Hallmark of condition'': Disabling midepigastric or central [[abdominal pain]] within 10-15 minutes after eating.
| |
| *''Physical examination'': The abdomen typically is scaphoid and soft, even during an episode of [[pain]]. Patients present with stigmata of [[weight loss]] and signs of [[peripheral vascular disease]], particularly aorto-iliac occlusive disease, may be present.
| |
| *''Causes'': Smoking is an associated risk factor. In most series, approximately 75-80% of patients smoke.
