The patient's chest pain with exercise and relief with rest is a typical presentation of stable angina. Variant angina, also known as Prinzmetal's angina, typically occurs at rest and is caused by spasms in the coronary arteries. Unstable angina is characterized by chest pain that occurs at rest, is more frequent or severe, and is not relieved by medication or rest.
