Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Hebrew term or phrase: מחלת לב תעוקתית
Is it simply heart disease or ischemic heart disease? It's the תעוקתית that I am uncertain about in this term.

Thanks!

angina
Explanation:

it is true that anigna is caused by ischemia, whihc as, far as I know, is translated as - איסכמיה.
the phrase is a specific Hebrew phrase and is problably incorrect, a medical slang term in Hebrew.
תעוקה - is definitely not - constrictive or restrictive heart disease.

a patient can suffer from - angina - or from- anginal syndrome,- but not from - anginal heart disease.
the phrase - anginal heart disease - does not exist in AE medicine.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy or pericardial constriction


Explanation:
תעוקתי means constrictive.

See link for an elaboration. A simpler term would just be "constrictive heart disease".
