Angina pectoris is the term used to describe chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood (and therefore oxygen) as it needs, often because one or more of the heart's arteries is narrowed or blocked. This can be due to a transient spasm of the coronary arteries, among other causes.
