Angina is a kind of chest pain or discomfort caused by poor flow of blood in the heart. This often occurs due to narrowing of blood arteries (atherosclerosis) caused by plaque formation or blood clot. People with obesity, history of heart disease, diabetes, high level of blood cholesterol and smoking are high risk of getting affected with angina. Some common symptoms associated with angina include pain, pressure or strange feeling in chest, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat, nausea or vomiting and weakness.

Most commonly used medications include nitrates, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. Nicorandil, ranolazine and ivabradine are some of the latest anti-anginal agents which are also used for treating chronic stable angina.
