Angina pectoris is a condition in which there is a temporary shortage of oxygen to the heart muscle, causing severe chest pain. It is often caused by narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Congestive heart failure involves the heart's inability to pump blood effectively, while myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a condition in which there is permanent damage to the heart muscle due to a complete blockage of a coronary artery. Coronary artery disease refers to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which can cause angina, heart attacks, and other complications.
