Key Takeaways

Stable angina is a type of chest pain related to myocardial ischemia. It usually occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood and oxygen due to atherosclerosis or other causes of narrowing of the coronary arteries. The chest pain is typically brought on by physical activity or emotional stress and does not occur at rest. It is completely relieved by rest or the administration of sublingual nitroglycerine.
