96
Q

What is the physiology of angina pectoris?

A

Release of adenosine and bradykinin stimulate cardiac nociceptive and mechanosensitive receptors whose afferent neurons converge with the upper five thoracic sympathetic ganglia and somatic nerve fibers in the spinal cord and ultimately produce thalamic and cortical stimulation that results in the typical chest pain of angina pectoris.
