What is Angina Pectoris?

Angina pectoris is a condition characterized by chest pain that occurs when the muscles of the heart receive an insufficient supply of oxygen. Angina is frequently the first sign of coronary artery disease. Possible angina symptoms include uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing, or pain in the center of the chest. The discomfort also may be felt in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back, or arm. You may experience other symptoms besides those listed here.
