Angina is a common symptom that causes many people to first to see a doctor about their heart. Learning more about this condition can help you recognise when you may need to seek help.

🫀 What is angina?

Angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood. It is most commonly caused by coronary heart disease, where plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries and restricts blood flow. Angina can feel like pressure, heaviness, tightness or squeezing in the chest, or discomfort in the neck, jaw, arms, shoulders or back. Some people may also experience shortness of breath, nausea or fatigue, particularly when the heart is working harder during exercise or stress.

🫀 How is angina diagnosed?

Diagnosis begins with your doctor asking about your symptoms, risk factors, medical history and family history, followed by a physical examination. To investigate the cause of chest pain or discomfort, your doctor may arrange tests such as blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) or an exercise stress test. You may also be referred for further imaging, including a coronary angiogram or CT coronary angiogram to assess for blockages, or a cardiac MRI to identify any heart muscle damage.

🫀 How is angina treated?

Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and reducing the risk of a heart attack. Management often includes heart-healthy lifestyle changes and angina medicines, and some people may require a procedure to restore blood flow to the heart. Additional supports such as cardiac rehabilitation and digital heart-health programs may also help you stay well and maintain an active life.

🫀 If you’re concerned about your heart

This information is general in nature and provided for educational purposes. If you have concerns about your heart or symptoms that may indicate angina, please speak with your GP or heart health professional.

An electrophysiology study (which can also be referred to as an EPS) is a procedure to examine the electrical system of the heart.

The procedure helps to identify irregular heartbeats and assess how well your heart's electrical system is working.

If there is a disturbance in the heart’s ability to transmit electrical impulses or these impulses are blocked, this may result in the heart beating too slowly, too fast or irregularly. These heart rhythm disturbances can cause dizziness, fainting spells or palpitations.

An electrophysiology study analyses any abnormal heart rhythms and evaluates the potential effect of drug therapy.

During the procedure, your doctor will inject a local anaesthetic into your groin (or occasionally the arm).

Once the skin has been anaesthetised, small electrode catheters are inserted in your groin which are guided by x-rays and positioned at specific locations in your heart.

Your doctor then uses electrical impulses to make your heart beat at different speeds. The electrical system of the heart is stimulated (paced), recorded, and analysed.

This information helps your cardiologist diagnose any abnormality and determine the most appropriate treatment.

An electrophysiology study normally takes about one hour.

Most patients spend about six to eight hours at the clinic for this procedure from the time of admission to the time of discharge.

If you’d like to learn more about this procedure, you can read our patient guide on our website here: https://www.ehc.com.au/eps/

While men face a higher risk of heart disease as they age, there’s a lot that can be done to reduce that risk. Regular check-ups and small, consistent changes to daily habits can have a meaningful impact — and it’s never too late to start.

According to the Heart Foundation, men are about 40 % more likely than women to die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) — a group of conditions that includes coronary heart disease, stroke and vascular disease. (heartfoundation.org.au)

And data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows that two-thirds of coronary heart disease hospitalisations occur in people aged 65 and over, most of them men. (aihw.gov.au)

The key is to know your risk and take proactive steps early.

1️⃣ Eat well
Choose more vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean proteins. Reducing salt, processed foods and saturated fats supports healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

2️⃣ Move more
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days. Brisk walking, swimming or cycling all improve circulation, strengthen the heart muscle and help maintain a healthy weight.

3️⃣ Manage stress and stay connected
Emotional wellbeing matters. Try to build regular time for rest, relaxation and social connection — all of which support better heart health and quality of life.

4️⃣ Quit smoking
If you smoke, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your heart. Benefits start within weeks and continue to grow over time, no matter your age.

5️⃣ Know your numbers
Have your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar checked regularly. Understanding these results helps you and your GP identify early warning signs before symptoms appear.

Seeing your GP regularly for a heart-health check is one of the most effective ways to understand and manage your individual risk. Simple steps taken now can make a lasting difference to your health and wellbeing.

If you have an irregular or fast heart rhythm, your cardiologist may discuss a device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD.

An ICD is a small medical device that helps treat certain abnormal heart rhythms using electrical impulses. It continuously monitors your heartbeat and can correct fast or irregular rhythms by delivering a small pacing signal or, if needed, a brief electrical shock to restore a normal rhythm.

The device sits under the skin, usually on the left side of the chest, and is connected to your heart with thin wires (called leads). Once in place, it works continuously to protect you from potentially life-threatening rhythm disturbances.

🫀 Why you might need an ICD
An ICD may be recommended if you have had episodes of fast heart rhythms or are at increased risk due to a previous heart attack, heart failure, or changes in the heart muscle or electrical system. These rhythm disturbances can cause dizziness, fatigue, or fainting — and in some cases, can be serious without treatment.

🫀 What happens during the procedure
Your ICD procedure is performed in one of Eastern Heart Clinic’s cardiac catheter laboratories and usually takes about one to two hours. You’ll be given either a general anaesthetic or sedation, so you will not feel discomfort. Your cardiologist will create a small pocket under the skin for the device, guide the leads through a vein into the heart, and connect them to the defibrillator. The ICD is tested before the incision is closed.

🫀 After your procedure
Most patients stay overnight so the device can be checked the next day. Your cardiologist will provide advice on caring for your wound, when to resume daily activities, and any precautions for your recovery.

If your doctor has recommended an ICD, they will explain every step and answer any questions you may have before your procedure.
