📋Overview
Unstable Angina is a type of ischemic heart disease that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly reduced. This condition is classified as an acute coronary syndrome and is often considered a precursor to a potential myocardial infarction.
Symptoms typically differ from stable angina because they may occur at rest or with minimal exertion. The discomfort is often more severe or prolonged than usual, reflecting a change in the stability of the cardiovascular system.
