Raised ESR is an indication if inflammation somewhere in the body it does not indicate what the cause of the inflammation is. The trick is to find out what is causing the inflammation and take it from there. For example in the case off rheumatoid arthritis there are a number of different anti inflammatory available both steroidal and non steroidal. as well as disease modifying drugs that inhibit the immune system to be able to inflame.

How is ESR affected by angina pectoris?
HOW AM I SUPOSSED TO KNOW!?!? ESR is not affected by angina pectoris because ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) measures the ability of red blood cells to settle over the course of one hour. ESR is affected by diseases and is elevated when diseased by is present (such as when there is inflammation or tissue damage). In angina pectoris, it is not the blood that is damaged, it is the blood VESSELS as anginal pectoris is caused by forms of atherosclerosis which inhibit blood flow. Therefore, the ESR test is pointless in cases of angina pectoris because it will only show that they blood is healthy and will not indicate a condition of disease in the blood vessels. Hope this helps!!
