Angina is a symptom, not a health condition. Angina may not be life-threatening, but it is a warning sign of a heart condition. Angina is a sign of undiagnosed narrowing of blood vessels. If left untreated, narrowing blood vessels can lead to heart attack, irregular heart rhythm or heart failure.
An attack of angina is an emergency, which people must not ignore and should seek immediate medical treatment. People can opt for a healthy lifestyle and adequate rest with medical treatment to reduce the risk of another episode of angina.
