Heart Disease (Cardiovascular Disease, CVD) Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when an area of your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Angina itself isn't a disease. Rather, it's a symptom of an underlying heart problem. Angina is usually a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common type of heart disease. There are three types of angina - stable, unstable, and variant (Prinzmetal's).

Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women. CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed. This is due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on their inner walls. This buildup is called atherosclerosis. As it grows, less blood can flow through the arteries.

- Coronary artery disease is most commonly due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries. Atherosclerosis is a process that can involve many of the body’s blood vessels with a variety of presentations.linically, this may result in resting angina, a critical stage of coronary artery disease. Ischemia is the result of the coronary vessel’s inability to meet the demand of the myocardium it supplies. The imbalance between supply and demand (↑ demand, ↓ supply) results in ischemia.

An Overview of Occlusive Arterial Disease Coronary Artery Occlusive Disease. Occlusion of the arteries supplying the heart muscles is the cause of chest pains or angina, and this can lead to a fatal heart attack. Risk factors that are associated with coronary artery disease are similar to those of atherosclerosis in other parts of the body. However, since the heart muscles do not regenerate, just like those of the brain, a severe or complete block to its blood supply can be fatal within minutes.
