Background

The Latin word angina refers to a painful constriction or tightness somewhere in the body, and may refer to:

• Angina pectoris, chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood and hence oxygen supply) of the heart muscle
• Abdominal angina, postprandial abdominal pain that occurs in individuals with insufficient blood flow to meet visceral demands
• Ludwig's angina, a serious, potentially life-threatening infection of the tissues of the floor of the mouth
• Prinzmetal's angina, a syndrome typically consisting of cardiac chest pain at rest that occurs in cycles
• Vincent's angina, trench mouth, infection of the gums leading to inflammation, bleeding, deep ulceration and necrotic gum tissue
• Angina tonsillaris, an inflammation of the tonsils
