    Journal: Nurse Pract; 2010 Nov; 35(11):16-22; quiz 22-3. PubMed ID: 20935581.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal angina refers to abdominal pain in which perfusion to digestive tissues has been compromised, usually due to mesenteric atherosclerosis. Pathology can progress to necrosis of vital viscera, sepsis, or even death. Practitioners need to be aware of this serious medical condition, especially in the ever-growing elderly population.
