Define angina pectoris
What will be an ideal response?
Angina pectoris is characterized by episodes of pain when the heart experiences oxygen deficiency. This oxygen deficiency may be caused by conditions that result in decreased blood flow to the heart, decreased capacity of the blood to carry oxygen, or increased workload in the heart. A diminishment of the oxygen supply to the heart muscle results in myocardium ischemia or hypoxia.
