Angina pectoris is a common symptom of atherosclerosis in which a person experiences severe chest pain, neck pain or left arm pain. It occurs when there is a decrease in blood flow to the heart due to clogged or narrowed arteries. It is often described as a feeling of tightness or pressure in the chest, and can be triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress. A heart attack (B) occurs when there is complete blockage of a coronary artery, while cardiovascular disease (A) refers to a range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. Stress-induced fatigue (D) is not directly related to atherosclerosis.
