Explanation

An "anti-anginal effect" refers to the ability of certain medicines to relieve or prevent angina, a type of chest pain. Angina is usually caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, often due to heart disease. Medicines with an anti-anginal effect work by improving blood flow to the heart, which helps to reduce chest pain. This effect allows individuals with angina to engage in activities that might otherwise cause chest pain.
