Relating to or caused by angina, a condition characterized by chest pain due to inadequate blood flow to the heart.
From Latin 'angina' (strangling, throttling sensation) + '-al' (relating to). The root suggests the sensation of being strangled or squeezed in the chest.
Doctors use 'anginal' to describe that specific crushing chest pain people get when their heart isn't getting enough oxygen—and here's the wild part: people often describe it as pressure, not sharp pain, which is why many dismiss warning signs as just indigestion.
