Acute chest syndrome
Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common heart disease. CAD happens when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, reducing blood flow.There are three types of angina:Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. Rest and medicines usually help.Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. It does not go away with rest or medicine. It is a sign that you could have a heart attack soon.Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting. Medicines can help.Not all chest pain or discomfort is angina. If you have chest pain, you should see your health care provider.NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

60 Y male having LRTI symptoms, Underwent CT CHEST , now he is recovered with the Standard Rx. But I PICKED CIRRHOTIC LIVER FINDING on CT CHEST meanwhile Patient is ASYMPTOMATIC No C/O CLD yet. I advised to do USG ABDOMEN to check for Findings of DECOMPENSATION. & LFT also appears normal On USG adomen** 1) INCREASED ECHOGENICITY of Liver 2) DILATED PORTAL VEIN I think Radiologist interpretated it as FATTY LIVER GRADE 2, but Dilated portal Vein + increased Echogenicity should be S/O CLD Life style He is NON ALCOHOLIC , NON SMOKER PT INR , HEP B , HEP C Reports are awaited.
