What is angina pectoris?
Angina is recurring chest pain or discomfort which occurs when a part of the heart does not receive enough blood. Episodes of angina may be caused by exertion or excitement that places increased demands for oxygen to the heart. Angina is considered unstable if is occurs at rest.
