Angina is not a disease in itself but a symptom of an underlying heart problem—most often Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). It presents as chest pain or discomfort that may feel like pressure, squeezing, heaviness, or burning, especially during physical activity or emotional stress.

With years of experience in advanced cardiac care, Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar offers a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plans for patients experiencing angina, ensuring rapid relief and long-term heart health.

When Should You Suspect Angina?

You may be experiencing angina if you notice:

• Chest discomfort triggered by exertion or stress

• Pain spreading to the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back

• Shortness of breath, fatigue, or nausea during activity

• Relief of symptoms with rest or medication like nitroglycerin

Types of Angina We Treat

• Stable Angina: Predictable, occurs with activity, relieved by rest

• Unstable Angina: Unexpected, may occur at rest, requires urgent attention

• Variant (Prinzmetal’s) Angina: Caused by spasms in coronary arteries, often at night

• Microvascular Angina: Related to dysfunction in small vessels, often seen in women

Diagnostic Approach

We use a range of advanced tools to confirm angina and assess heart function:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG)

• Echocardiography (ECHO)

• Treadmill Stress Test (TMT)

• Cardiac CT Scan or MRI

• Coronary Angiography for precise evaluation of blockages

Treatment Options

The goal is to restore blood flow and prevent heart attacks. Based on severity, we offer:

• Medications: To improve blood flow, reduce workload on the heart, and control symptoms

• Lifestyle Modifications: Diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management

• Interventional Procedures:

  • Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting

  • Bypass Surgery (if needed)
