Newcastle University. http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?query=Gairdner%27s+disease (accessed: May 04, 2007)〕 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 suffering from acute coronary syndrome (cardiac related chest pain) such as angina. It is, however, occasionally found in patients suffering from other conditions.〔angor animi. Online Medical Dictionary. ''CancerWeb. Centre for Cancer Education.'' Newcastle University. http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?query=angor+animi(accessed: May 04, 2007)〕 ''Angor animi'' is differentiated from a ''fear'' or ''desire'' for death,〔 since ''angor animi'' refers to a patient's actual and genuine ''belief'' that they are in the present act of dying.〔 ==Etymology== The phrase is derived from the two Latin terms which it is composed of, namely ''angor'' and ''animi''. ''Angor'' (different but related to the word anger), in modern English, refers to a great anxiety,〔 distress,〔angor. Dictionary.com. ''Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1).''
