Description

For sample adults whom a doctor or other health professional had ever diagnosed as having angina pectoris (ANGIPECEV), ANGIPECYR reports answers to the question, "During the past 12 months, have you had ... Angina, also called angina pectoris?"

Angina pectoris, which was not defined in the survey documentation, consists of sudden attacks of constricting pressure or pain, often in the chest, resulting from not enough blood and oxygen getting to the heart muscle. Angina is generally caused by coronary heart disease.

Respondents for these inquiries were limited to those whom a doctor or other health professional had ever diagnosed as having the corresponding heart condition (HEARTATTEV, CHEARTDIEV, and (HEARTCONEV). Also in 2002, the survey identified sample adults who had congestive heart failure during the past 12 months (CONHFAILYR), again limiting the inquiry to those sample adults who had ever been diagnosed with this condition (CONHFAILEV).
