Coronary artery disease:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The classic symptom of CAD is angina, the direct result of inadequate oxygen flow to the myocardium. Anginal pain is usually described as a burning, squeezing, or tight feeling in the substernal or precordial chest that may radiate to the left arm, neck, jaw, or shoulder blade. Typically, the patient clenches his fist over his chest or rubs his left arm when describing the pain, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fainting, sweating, and cool extremities. Anginal episodes most often follow physical exertion but may also follow emotional excitement, exposure to cold, or a large meal.
Angina has four major forms: stable (pain is predictable in frequency and duration and can be relieved with nitrates and rest), unstable (pain increases in frequency and duration and is more easily induced), Prinzmetal’s or variant (from unpredictable coronary artery spasm), and microvascular (in which impairment of vasodilator reserve causes angina-like chest pain in a patient with normal coronary arteries). Severe and prolonged anginal pain generally suggests MI, with potentially fatal arrhythmias and mechanical failure.

Coronary artery disease:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
The classic symptom of CAD is angina, the direct result of inadequate flow of oxygen to the myocardium. It’s usually described as a burning, squeezing, or tight feeling in the substernal or precordial chest that may radiate to the left arm, neck, jaw, or shoulder blade. Approximately 50% of women don’t present with the typical symptoms of angina. These women experience vague symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.
Typically, the patient clenches his fist over his chest or rubs his left arm when describing the pain, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fainting, sweating, and cool extremities. Anginal episodes most commonly follow physical exertion but may also follow emotional excitement, exposure to cold, or a large meal.
Angina has three major forms:
❑ Stable angina causes pain that’s predictable in frequency and duration and can be relieved with nitrates and rest.
❑ Unstable angina causes pain that increases in frequency and duration. It’s more easily induced.
❑ Prinzmetal’s angina causes unpredictable coronary artery spasm.
Severe and prolonged anginal pain generally suggests MI, with potentially fatal arrhythmias and mechanical failure.
