Disease/Condition Glossary

Stable angina pectoris: This is the symptom of coronary artery disease in which a person faces serious chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. This disease usually happens when the heart is beating at a faster rate than normal to supply more oxygenated blood to the whole body. People dealing with angina may feel pressure, heaviness, and tightness in their chest. It is hard to differentiate angina from other types of chest pain, such as pain due to indigestion. If a person faces unexplained chest pain, they must seek medical help immediately.

Chronic Heart failure: Chronic Heart failure is also known as congestive heart failure, which happens when the heart fails to pump blood as much as it should. The possible factors include narrowed arteries in the heart, high blood pressure that weaken the heart, and the heart does not pump properly. The possible signs of heart failure include fatigue, rapid heartbeat, increased urge to urinate, rapid weight gain, severe shortness of breath, etc.
