#angina, #chest pain, #myocardial infarction, #coronary artery, #atherosclerosis, #stent, #sudden death

Angina is a cardiovascular condition in which the coronary arteries — the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart — become narrowed, causing a dull chest pain.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which the airways (the passages through which air moves in and out of the lungs) become hypersensitive, often due to allergic reactions, and narrow, causing recurring coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is sometimes mistaken for a severe cough or cold, which can delay proper treatment. Symptoms can worsen with exposure to yellow dust, fine particulate matter, or pollen. If you have recurring coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist or allergist.

Drug Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis

#rheumatoid arthritis, #antirheumatic drugs, #biologics, #JAK inhibitors, #small molecule inhibitors, #methotrexate, #targeted therapy, #immunosuppressants

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. After diagnosis, drug treatment is started to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. In recent years, in addition to conventional antirheumatic drugs, a variety of targeted therapies have come into use, including biologics and small molecule inhibitors (JAK inhibitors). Because each drug has different characteristics and side effects, please discuss treatment options thoroughly with your doctor before deciding on the approach that is right for you.
