Overview
One of the clinical subsets of angina [1] is described below.
Postprandial Angina Pectoris
- An angina can occur after meals without any ordinary physical activity because of increased coronary vascular tone and a primary decrease in coronary blood flow. However, postprandial angina may occur only during physical activity after meals because of an associated increase in myocardial oxygen demand.
- Postprandial angina is almost always associated with significant atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
