https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

Angina, in full angina pectoris, is chest pain or pressure, usually caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium).[2] It is most commonly a symptom of coronary artery disease.[2]

Meat does not cause angina, cardiovascular issues are caused by inflammation and elevated insulin levels (caused by carbs).

    Oh sorry, a language thing then! In my native tongue "angiina" is a throat infection, that usually requires antibiotics. But good to learn that it's whole other thing in English language!

    I wonder whether the two words are related, whether English took a Latin word from generic pain and repurposed it for a very specific pain

    Anyway it's a commonly known word in English because the common diet causes heart disease so we hear about angina from elderly relatives

    Must be vessel-inflammation or something similar in latin. Angiogenesis -> blood vessel formation (angio being blood vessel), -ina is a suffix for inflammation, therefore angina -> blood vessel inflammation

    This is speculative from my working knowledge of some biological terms, I haven't looked up the etymology (yet)

    edit after google:

    1. there are many medical anginas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina_(disambiguation)

    2. I was right for the wrong reasons. The etymology is greek: ankhonē "a strangling". Originally it referred to the aforementioned throat infection in english, then evolved into chest pain. https://www.etymonline.com/word/angina

    I looked it up, English used to use it for strep throat or tonsillitis. Then 'angina of the chest' was used and since we have other words for strep throat and tonsillitis angina came to exclusively mean heart pain

    carbs do not cause inflammation nor raised insulin. Source?

    Carbs are just glucose in different forms, every g of carbs you eat hits your blood stream as glucose... the body tightly regulates blood glucose levels with insulin... so yes, every carb you eat increases your insulin directly and for hours.

    You can see this by lookup up insulin dosing guidelines for diabetics - it is directly related to their carbohydrate intake.
