Angor animi (also referred to as angina animi, Gairdner's disease and also angina pectoris sine dolore), in medicine, is a symptom defined as a patient's perception that they are in fact dying. Most cases of angor animi are found in patients with acute coronary syndrome (cardiac-related chest pain) such as myocardial infarction.
Angor animi is another term for angina pectoris without pain, also referred to as Gairdner's disease or anxiety about death. It is characterized by patients' misperception of their own mortality.
