Overview
Pathophysiology
- The pathophysiology is similar to that seen in angina pectoris and intermittent claudication.
- Abdominal angina occurs due to narrowing of the mesenteric vessels that causes decreased blood flow.[1]
- The most common cause of abdominal angina is an atherosclerotic vascular disease at ostia of the mesenteric vessels. Superior mesenteric artery occlusion is often found in patients presenting symptomatic occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Patients with abdominal angina are unable to increase flow in the mesenteric vessels in response to eating that's why they develop postprandial pain.[1]
