Angina Pectoris and Hypertension

Angina pectoris is the clinical term for chest pain due to coronary heart disease, and hypertension translates to high blood pressure—two potentially life-threatening conditions that affect 10 million Americans every year. In this program, William Frishman, of New York Medical College; Steve Glasser, of the University of Minnesota; and Henry Black, of Rush Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, address the causes and effects of those conditions. Treatments and preventive measures are considered as well, including lifestyle and risk factor modification and new drug therapies. (23 minutes)
