Angina is one of the earliest warning signs of a major heart problem—a blockage in the coronary artery, which supplies blood to your heart. In this important video, Dr. Atanu Saha explains how to recognize the symptoms of angina and why early detection of heart blockage is critical for timely treatment.

What Is Angina?
When a coronary artery becomes narrowed or blocked—typically around 80% or more—the heart struggles to get enough oxygen-rich blood during physical exertion or stress. This leads to angina, a clinical term for chest discomfort or pain due to reduced blood flow.

Key Symptoms to Watch For:
Chest pain or discomfort (often triggered by physical activity or stress)

Breathlessness

Heaviness, tightness, or pressure in the chest

Symptoms that may radiate to the jaw, neck, shoulder, or left arm

Who Is at Higher Risk?
People above 40 years of age

Those with a family history of heart disease

Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol

Smokers or those with a history of smoking

These risk factors amplify the chance of developing significant coronary artery blockages.

Diagnosis and Treatment:
If you experience these symptoms, your doctor may recommend:

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

Stress test or treadmill test

Echocardiography

Angiography to assess the exact level of blockage

Once diagnosed, treatment may involve:

Lifestyle changes and medications (for early-stage cases)

Angioplasty with stent placement

Bypass surgery for severe or multiple blockages

Why Early Detection Matters:
If caught early, heart blockages can often be effectively treated, preventing heart attacks and improving long-term health outcomes. Don’t ignore early chest discomfort, especially if you fall under a high-risk group.

Protect your heart by recognizing symptoms early, seeking timely diagnosis, and following your cardiologist’s guidance.
