Angina
心絞痛
“ Strangling of the heart “ , is the Latin phrase describing a symptom of heart disease called Angina . It’s a pain that occurs when the heart is not getting enough oxygen , usually because of blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart . Angina is common , more than six million people in the U.S. have it but many may not know it . Angina can sometimes resemble other conditions like indigestion , back pain or shoulder arthritis , and it’s not uncommon for people to dismiss their pain and discomfort as nothing to worry about . while angina may not cause long-term heart damage , in many cases it can be a first sigh of heart disease and the first alert for patients to change their old habits for a heart-healthy life .
 “心絞痛”拉丁原文的意思是“絞殺心臟”。心絞痛是因為供應血液給心臟的動脈阻塞，導致心臟得不到足夠氧氣。心絞痛很普遍，美國有六百多萬人罹患，但很多人不自知。心絞痛有時跟其他毛病類似，例如消化不良，背痛或是肩部關節炎。很多人認為這種疼痛和不適無需擔心。心絞痛或許不會造成心臟的永久性損傷，但是在很多病例中，它可能是心臟病的最初跡象，而且也是給病人的第一個警告，要他們改變舊習慣以便過心臟健康的生活。
