angina — chest discomfort in the front of the chest, neck, shoulders, jaw, or arms that is precipitated by physical exertions and relieved by rest or sublingual nitrates. antianginal drugs — drugs used in the treatment of angina. hypertension — when an individual’s blood pressure is above the normal limits for a sustained period of time. aldosterone — a hormone made in the adrenal cortex that helps to control the balance of water and salts in the kidneys, retaining sodium and releasing potassium from the body.
Worked example
What does “angina” mean in Antihypertensive and Antianginal Drugs?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for angina.
- 2The book says: chest discomfort in the front of the chest, neck, shoulders, jaw, or arms that is precipitated by physical exertions and relieved by rest or sublingual nitrates.
- 3Do not use the meaning of antianginal drugs. That term means drugs used in the treatment of angina.
Result: chest discomfort in the front of the chest, neck, shoulders, jaw, or arms that is precipitated by physical exertions and relieved by rest or sublingual nitrates
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for angina.
Do not swap angina and antianginal drugs. angina means chest discomfort in the front of the chest, neck, shoulders, jaw, or arms that is precipitated by physical exertions and relieved by rest or sublingual nitrates. antianginal drugs means drugs used in the treatment of angina.
