  Angina Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is a medical term used to describe chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It is typically a symptom of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD), which is caused by atherosclerosis, a condition where fatty deposits (plaque) build up in the coronary arteries, narrowing the blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the heart. Angina is often described as a feeling of pressure, squeezing, heaviness, tightness, or pain in the chest. The pain may also radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, back, or arms. The severity and duration of angina episodes can vary from person to person, and they are often triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, cold weather, heavy meals, or other factors that increase the heart's workload and oxygen demand . Causes Angina is primarily caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. The m...

Bisoprolol Bisoprolol is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers. It is commonly prescribed to treat various cardiovascular conditions, particularly hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain heart conditions. The main action of bisoprolol is to block the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels. By doing so, bisoprolol helps to reduce the workload on the heart, lower blood pressure, and slow down the heart rate. This can be beneficial for individuals with hypertension, heart failure, angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart), and some arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms). Bisoprolol is available under various brand names, depending on the manufacturer and the country. Some common brand names of bisoprolol include: 1. Zebeta 2. Concor 3. Bisoprolol Ratiopharm 4. Cardicor 5. Biselect 6. Bicor 7. Emcor 8. Monocor 9. Bisovas 10. Biselect These are just a few examples, and ...
