Presentation of Unstable Angina

• Unstable Angina Presentation:

  • Unstable angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow to the myocardium, often due to a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries
  • Unlike stable angina, which occurs predictably during exertion, unstable angina can occur unexpectedly, even at rest, and typically lasts longer
  • It is considered a medical emergency and is often a warning sign of an impending myocardial infarction
