Angina question

I hope this isn't a silly question: how do you pronounce angina? Do you say "ann GI (long I) na" or "ANN guh nuh" ???? Or some other way? Thanks.

Thanks. I live in the south and sometimes the southern accents have a way of twisting words around(!). Don't you know I teach a class on ANN- GI- NA/ s/sx of MI so wanted to make sure I was saying it right. (I've been pronouncing both ways to make everyone happy, lol)
Actually, with patients, I end up just saying good old fashioned CHEST PAIN. Works for me

Since we Australians don't have an accent I can say with authority that it is Ann-jeye-nah
